*side eyes my 14 Pro Max 😄

Anyone outside US trying this: can you confirm it works just by switching the language to US English?

Affirmative, from Switzerland

Keep in mind everyone. Apple Intelligence is for the top 1% Luxury iPhone owners Only for iPhone 15 Pro, iPads M1 to M4.

Isn't it for anyone who has purchased an MacBook/iMac in the last four years as well?

Sad days to own an iPhone 14 Pro.

I own an iPhone 13 and I’m not sad at all.

Joined the waitlist about two hours ago and it’s just been saying “support for processing Apple intelligence models on device is downloading” for about the last hour or so…

 

[tkrsh]

Have you changed your language to US English?

Thank you that worked

 

[rwilliams]

Anyone figure out how to get the new sorting categories in Mail to happen?

Nope, I've been trying to figure that out on the Mac

 

[Macalway]

Siri, what does A.I. stand for?

Siri: Apple Intelligence. Apple launched A.I. in 2024, bringing.....

Added to both my 15 Pro Max and Macbook, but...what is actually enabled atm?! Can't see image playground, cannot seem to get it to do anything in emails/docs...can't see the "Clean Up" to remove stuff from photos etc... is anything available yet?

Edit, found this:

The preview released on Monday includes:

• A new Siri look that makes the edge of the phone glow
• Other Siri improvements, such as the ability to understand commands when the speaker stumbles over their words
• Siri can now answer troubleshooting questions about Apple products
• Better photos search and movie creation
• AI-generated summaries for Mail, Messages, voicemail transcriptions
• Writing Tools, Apple’s text-generation service

These features are not in the AI preview yet, although Apple says they will be rolled out over the next year:

• Image generation
• Emoji generation
• Automated photos clean up
• Other Siri improvements, including its ability to use your personal information, and the ability to take actions inside apps
• OpenAI ChatGPT integration

Oh boy, here I go installing an unstable developer beta on my main device again...

I'm trying to get it installed on my M2 pro through parallels which is taking some time since I have to install sonoma on it first downloading it right now then I'll try to upgrade I'm close to saying **** it and just upgrading it on my M2 right away

 

[Minato1990]

Trade it in now for the 15 Pro Max; don't get the 16 because most of the AI features will appear midway in 2025, just a few months before the 17 release which is anticipated to have some major changes. I'm going to update to 17 and skip the 16.

Whoa there the 16 might have something that he held out for.
I mean that's why I'm holding out with my 14pro going for the 16Pro Max

and now u put doubt in my mind that maybe I should trade in my 14pro and go for the 15pro max like today

Is your app store the French app store? I'm wondering how Apple are going about excluding EU countries and China.

I’ve read since I posted that that no matter what settings you use if you’re in the EU then AI is not valid.

Affirmative, from Switzerland

Hi, did you do anything else to get it working in Switzerland? I changed my system language & Siri to US English, but it doesn’t work for me

 

[GregJohn]

Now just waiting on the wait list….

 

[AppleComputer]

Kind of wild, this years new iPhone will ship without most of the features until 2025.

 

[Nosmo King]

While installing, it states not available in EU or China. Seemingly Apple believes that Switzerland is in the EU (although we cannot access other App stores etc).

I’m also in Switzerland, and have 18.1, been approved, and am already testing US english Proof reading. Works great!

 

[Chrysaor]

Is the waitlist on an Apple account level or per device?

 

[Ingo Brocksom]

I’ve just changed Siri and device language to English (US) for science No issues so far

I’m trying also, get me on that wish list

 

[Nosmo King]

Same

Same here

The features you know about today, and none of them being iPhone 16 specific.

I thought I was the only one!

I was surprised when they released the public beta today with those bugs tbh.

Keep in mind everyone. Apple Intelligence is for the top 1% Luxury iPhone owners Only for iPhone 15 Pro, iPads M1 to M4.

And in 5 years time it’s on every phone and a boring standard feature… so…

 

[TracerAnalog]

I was surprised when they released the public beta today with those bugs tbh.

Uhm that’s what (public) beta testers are for.

 

[cdcdoc]

I’m also in Switzerland, and have 18.1, been approved, and am already testing US english Proof reading. Works great!

I am also in Switzerland and on my ipad it only works if I change the region to US…changing the language to English US didn’t do the trick.

 

[Nosmo King]

I think Apple thinks Switzerland is in the EU!

I‘m in Switzerland and it works fine, just saying.
