Apple will be rolling out Apple Intelligence features to qualifying iPhones as quickly as it can, with as many as three updates before year’s end. Some major components, including big changes to Siri, may have to wait until early 2025.
Apple will be rolling out Apple Intelligence features to qualifying iPhones as quickly as it can, with as many as three updates before year’s end. Some major components, including big changes to Siri, may have to wait until early 2025.
Apple has continued to emphasize the forthcoming Apple Intelligence features as a key element of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15 Sequoia, but the new technology is coming in bits across late 2024 and into early 2025. One of the biggest pieces of the new updates is a totally revamped and more personal Siri, but the biggest upgrades to it will be among the last new features to arrive.
Bloomberg is reporting that iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.3 are planned to roll out in December, following the release of iOS 18.1 in mid-October. The first big update to iOS 18 should coincide with a second expected Apple Event that will feature new and updated Macs.
When the public release of iOS 18.1 arrives, it will bring only the first round of Apple Intelligence features with it. Email and Messages summaries and categorization, writing tools including summarizing and proofreading, a Clean Up feature for removing distracting objects from photos, and phone call recording and transcription will likely be the highlights.
