Fixed it for you!
Really confused by such a posting… you’re member of an pretty nerdy iPhone/Apple forum. Tell me how often since the first iPhone did Apple release software updates on different dates to different regions? Couldn’t remember a single time. Doesn’t make sense.
Thank you! I think the confusion arises from the language localization. My guess (and it is just that, because Apple's wording isn't very clear), is that all regions will receive iOS 18.1 in October, like you stated - however, your ability to use the first round of AI features, such as proofreading, notification summaries, type to Siri, will be dependent on which language (not region) you're iPhone + Siri are set to.
The new Siri animation is nice, but I don't know if older devices get even that.
iOS 18.1 is not ready for prime-time, not until they fix the random re-springs and disappearing icons issue, to name several notable bugs in beta 5.
Sure, I have all the bugs and my apple operating systems are rubbish while you are getting special versions bug free.
You are delusional.
I won’t use any ai feature probably. I don’t see the use for tools that inhibit my capacity to write or read or think.
That’s not the point though.
If I point at the moon, don’t look at my index finger.
Why delusional? You prospect your specific bugs to everyone else. My 18.0 was also not perfect but also not catastrophic. Currently I’m using the 18.1 beta and it’s running well.
You cry that you have to wait for the AI features and Apple is so far behind… otherwise you can’t name a single feature that you would like to use… come on.
Most important is to complain online, right?
i just gave a perspective on the falling apple. AI doesn’t appeal to me, but they were caught off guard, then they go on stage and pretend they are at the forefront. Updating macOS and iOS is only getting you new issues, a few gimmicks half backed and of course new emojis for kids that can’t talk anymore but express themselves with emojis and let chat gpt write for them.
Just a perspective, that’s all
Your problem is easily solved. Simply switch to another phone manufacturer and be bored no more. Easy.
Will you do it?
This is a bad joke at this point. 18.01 still hasn’t fixed a lot of issues so hopefully we have another update before 18.1. Apple really dropped the ball this year.
I saw a Verizon commercial on cable TV today showing the iPhone 16 Pro with Apple Intelligence like you could walk into the store and buy it like that today.
Absolutely wild that we’ve come to this point where they’re selling devices and carriers are promoting things that haven’t even released to the general public and the only disclaimer is some 12pt font on the bottom of the screen.

2 bugs:
1. Input calculation, press enter, get result. Hit AC to clear, cleared to zero, exit app, re-open app and the result re-appears.
2. Input calculation, press enter, get result, press enter again to keep calculating, but nothing happens. Example: Enter 1+2=3, press = again and it should add another 2 and say 5, press enter again and it should add another 2 and say 7….but this action isn’t happening.
Eh this is slightly melodramatic.
I agree they shouldnt market it as it’s able to do it now but at the same time it’s not like the phone can’t ever. They’re clearly trying to sell the device….announcing a feature it can’t do for 2-3 weeks.
channelnews : Lack Of AI & New Features Hurts iPhone Sales As Apple Moves To Slash Production
Apple’s new iPhone 16 sales are struggling to generate sales in Australia, according to sources as consumers hold on to previous models, due in part to a lack of new features, including AI similar to what Samsung and Google devices have in their latest models, according to retail sources...

Not looking good for Apple, either way..
So far in beta AI is really not up to snuff. The rewriting was super exciting for me. But ChatGPT crushes the AI it’s not even close apple intelligence still feels like the Apple version of AI indeed and MAN that’s not a compliment anymore. This can’t be it….
Apple intends to launch iOS 18.1 with the first set of much-anticipated Apple Intelligence features on October 28, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Writing in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman says the release date is arriving this month a later than initially expected, as Apple is reportedly taking extra time to ensure a smooth rollout and prepare its AI cloud servers for the increased traffic.
The update will bring the first wave of Apple Intelligence features to iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 owners. Among the initial features are enhanced writing tools for rewriting, summarizing, and proofreading text, as well as a new Siri user interface. Users can also expect notification summaries for various apps, including Messages and Mail, and a new "Clean Up" tool in the Photos app that can remove unwanted elements from images using generative AI.
However, some of the more advanced Apple Intelligence features will be rolled out in subsequent updates. iOS 18.2, expected in December, will introduce ChatGPT support, Image Playground, and Genmoji for custom emoji creation. The full overhaul of Siri, which promises more precise app control and personalized responses, is slated for early 2025.

Absolutely laughable. How could they possibly be this far behind on the headline feature of their latest iPhone?? It will have been out for over a month when it finally arrives with a small part of the features promised.

I find it particularly jarring and insane that they are ADVERTISING this feature to new customers, knowing full well that the service they are paying for is not going to be available on the device.
Such an embarrassing miss
But this is known since months. 18.1 was expected for mid October, now its end October, that’s the only new detail here.
This is the new apple - presents new features and releases without them.. then in a years time, most of them are actually released.. pathetic. this new iOS update came with what? coloured icons and ability to rearrange icons? pathetic x2
