All of the Apple Intelligence Features Not Included in the iOS 18.1 Beta

Reason077 said:
Apple should really push back iOS 18 by 3-6 months and take some time to get these features solid.

Why bother even releasing a half-finished iOS 18, just to keep an arbitrary schedule? Is there anyone actually clamouring for features that aren't related to Apple Intelligence?

They are currently doing beta testing of iOS 18. Betas are rarely without some bugs. That is how they test and find bugs. The public betas are never the most recent code with all of the changes that haven’t been fully integrated.

It’s likely that they will be able to resolve most of the issues in the next two months before the 18.0 release. Most of the AI features will not be released until 18.1 which is usually in October. The more advanced AI features will not be released until later releases of 18 once they are ready.

You’ve got other people posting on hear that it is pathetic that every single feature won’t ship with 18.0. There is no pleasing everyone.

This is exactly my point: why bother with the iOS 18 release at all? Just push it back a few months and call what is currently scheduled to be iOS 18.1 "iOS 18". If an interim release is needed before then, call it iOS 17.7.

Most of the world has to wait until 2028 or later anyways. As this will all be English first or English only.

I’m still waiting for Scribble in Dutch.
Or have Siri on my Apple Watch talk Dutch to me (she’s completely silent).

It doesn't matter either way so why get all bent out of shape about it?

A handful of system updates and a handful of app updates with some bigger features sprinkled in point updates has been Apple's MO for like 5 years and the world didn't end before and it won't make any difference this year.

Exactly. This nonsense of releasing a "major" version (hint: they're not major anymore) every year is ridiculous when they never meet their targets. It's their only way of selling new phones though, but having new software that can "only be run on the new hardware" *cough* BS *cough*

oh wow that is actually terrible
 
Not really that bothered, this Apple Intelligence is more of a gimmick than anything else, I don't use Siri on my Mac mini, don't have a microphone permanently plugged in and have no need for it. Also don't want ChatGPT or any of them on my machine. Oh yeah, ChatGPT may not be around for much longer, seems to be losing money, left right and centre.

Very difficult for Apple to shine in the AI space which requires enormous Data Engineering capabilities mining the data to come up with proper use cases for AI in the consumer device. Fortunately, Apple has enormous amount of data but probably due to above reason could not take advantage of it (but they might say they have been safefguarding data and not use it for their business). They are merely buying out AI companies and trying to integrate services with the iOS or iPad OS etc…this might work to create an illusion that AI is in Apple devices. But for the real AI use cases across Apps, Operations, Network, Servers, Devices etc….it needs to define those services, develop AI capabilities after mining, training and reinforcing huge volume of data and to test it. If Apple hasn’t already done most of it or all of it already, chances are very little that we get to see the real AI any soon.
 
Apple should have sticked to true AI/Artifical Intelligence, not going down the wrong „Apple Intelligence“ marketing speech path.

Maybe Apple noticed that lots of stuff just isn‘t possible with iPhone RAM - but possible with Android, since Android phones ship with more memory.

Apple needs the hardware for AI - everything might work fine with an iP16 but could fail terrible even on an iP15 pro.

Compressing an AI model so that it needs less RAM is known as Quantization, but it can lead to horrible results.

If Apple is hitting this wall right now, it is in deep sh*t. Only way out is the cloud, but then again Apple doesn’t have the necessary cloud infrastructure and AI computing power.
Btw doing all of this in the cloud costs an insane amount of money - compared to models running on the device.

Terribly it is non working in Italy (Europe?)... we pay products more than in US and the most interesting features are not even present....

I’m from Slovakia and we never had any Siri whatsoever, so, I’ve just given up :/

Exactly, Apple should have not been so stingy about RAM, they could have had upsells on other features. This is gonna bite them pretty hard in the future and hopefully they’ve learned their lesson now. Bring up the M4 Mac’s with at least 12GB of RAM!

Funny how many haters I see on every post in this forum. If you think Apple is so awful, what are you doing here? No, no one at Apple is reading these screeds, or if they are, it's only for entertainment purposes.

It's even funnier when I see posts like yours, people who will do ANYTHING to justify Apples awful direction and decisions lately because you need to make yourself feel better.

No one is a "hater", people pay good hard earned money for this stuff and expect quality, it was always the way until recently Tim chased the headset dream and let the rest turn to ****.

In no reality is this acceptable from Apple, all of this stinks of failure and chasing fads, AI was a last ditch decision after the headset flopped spectacularly. No way did the they intend for the 15 series to ever have AI, hence the lack of RAM on the 15/plus and I believe they probably didn't want it on the 16 series either.

but but but look at the animations!!!!!££%£@@

  • Mail - Mail categories that sort your incoming messages are not yet available.

I want to underline this since I've seen it written on several websites:
Priority sorting is an Apple Intelligence feature (and not in this beta), Email category sorting is not an Intelligence feature but Apple talks of a "available at a later date".

This one so far seems like the true beta of iOS 18. Already seen all sorts of problems in messages so far.

In terms of of AI, liking the summarize feature in mail. Hopefully Microsoft can port something similar to Outlook.

The summarise feature has been available for a while in Outlook with Copilot Pro enabled. It's difficult to justify the "personal" pro subscription, however the commercial pro subscription is great and improving all the time (especially if your company pays the bill).

I get the excitement about new shiny things, but most features won't fundamentally change how people use their iPhones anyway. I was contemplating upgrading my iPhone 13 this fall, but I'm not even sure if it's worth it. I'm more excited about the prospect of finally having USB-C than any of the new AI features to be honest.
