Here Are All of the Apple Intelligence Features in the iOS 18.1 Developer Beta

[Kottu]

iPhone mirroring works in EU in 18.1
At the same time, in update description, it is stated that Apple Intelligence in EU wouldn’t be available right now. WTH?
Within EU, we can use all other AI services without any restrictions. What’s so special about Apple Intelligence. It is in fact ChatGPT under the skin and Open AI works in EU. Damn Apple!

Oh you have to be in reader mode for it to work…

Just tested, it works for me. The UI is ugly though

I was in reader mode. Some fancy gradient appeared over the text but then no summary ever showed up.

So confused. Am in the UK but ios18.1 developer beta showed up so I downloaded and installed it. But it doesn’t have any APple intelligence features at all. I rebooted too🧐

 

[Hellsurfer]

I'll be curious to see how well Siri actually "maintains context."

still as crap as before

 

[Easybook]

wack. 14 pro is a no go

 

[darkarw]

Anyone else actually still sitting on the waitlist?

 

[fwmireault]

Probably because your phone isn't compatible for it. It says only certain phones who get that feature. I think its mainly iphone 15 and 15 pro etc. not iphone 14 or below even though those phone do get ios 18

Not even the iPhone 15. For now, only iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max can run Apple Intelligence

It only took about 3 minutes for me to get accepted.

It’s disabled there. You have to set your region to America and Siri language to American English. They are holding these features hostage for Europe because they actually have privacy rules. Shame on Apple for doing this, after the very intelligence was trained on the UKs open web data without their permission and for no credit.

-removed- should have looked at the recent post about object remover not beiing on this beta

The new search feature in the Photos app is pretty fantastic.

Not really surprising if it is done locally. Unless it's something that needs to translate into phone settings/actions, just use ChatGPT or similar bot instead of Apple's toy.

It’s probably RAG+LLM.
Essentially, what happens behind the scenes is that it looks up some articles in a database. Then it supplies the article with your question, and asks the LLM to answer your questions with the article.

The step using the LLM requires a larger memory.

Does it require LLM? Maybe not, but everyone is using LLM to do these.

But is there any reason to run this particular part on device instead on Apple servers?

Probably cost. Apple is only letting you to run AI on server if AI is available on device.
They will probably only run on server side if absolutely necessary. Or if you purchased or recently purchased a device so they can offset the cost.

Also I doubt the servers are ready. Everything we’ve seen so far is probably done locally.

Can Apple run everything on the cloud? Probably yeah? But there is no business incentive for them (at least for Siri department) to do it.

The only reason is PR because the quality from a locally run small LLM is guaranteed to be subpar.

I really doubt the siri intents/actions will actually take off.
The capability has been sitting there for a while. And even with the new update, it’s still quite limiting

• All Apple silicon iPads

Aren't all iPads Apple Silicon? Shouldn't this say all M series iPads, or does this mean every iPad supporting iPadOS 18 will support Apple Intelligence?

 

[hektor6tygr]

Stupid me thought it was going to be available in Japan as long as I use English as the language. Hope it gets released in other countries soon!

I entered the waiting list, came back after a couple of hours, and it had the toggle to activate it. Got no notification.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

Call recording and transcribing to notes works VERY WELL!!!

Perfect when dealing with any type of customer service, since the announcement will happen before you deal with a live person. 👍

 

[wplynx]

Did double tapping a message always bring up its own card like feature? On a iPad left pane

 

[PsykX]

But it won’t have cross conversation knowledge. Apple probably need to implement the memory feature like chatGPT

The memory feature is the same thing as conversational context basically.

When you send an initial message to ChatGPT, it also sends all of your memories, but invisible to you. And it also sends them every time you send a subsequent message.

This is very very easy to do, but I don't have any clue about Apple implementing such feature.

 

[FelixDerKater]

Ok, but does Siri work now ?

"Let me search the web for that."

This isn’t true. Apple restricted EU access due to privacy concerns I believe. It is also not Chat GPT under the skin. Apple made their own LLM and allowed integration to ChatGPT at the users request for things that the Apple LLM can’t handle
