iOS 18.1 Available in October With Apple Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro and Newer

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that iOS 18.1 will be released to the public at some point in October. The software update will add the first Apple Intelligence features to the iPhone 15 Pro models and all four new iPhone 16 models.

iOS 18.1 is already available in beta for developers, and it includes Apple Intelligence features such as writing tools for proofreading text, notification summaries, suggested replies in the Messages app, the ability to record and transcribe phone calls, and a new "Clean Up" tool in the Photos app that can quickly remove objects from a photo.

Apple Intelligence will initially be available with device and Siri language set to English only, and the features will have a "beta" label even on the publicly released version of iOS 18.1 that is coming out next month. Apple said support for additional languages, including Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish, will be added next year.

I would love to use new features, but Apple seems to forgot about other European countries like Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and other… I mean Google supports A LOT more languages since 2019 or longer, how is it possible Apple is not?

Ehh, another year without Siri and now AI…

This is easily the most underwhelming iPhone event they've ever held.

AirPods > Airpods Max
AW > AWU

What's next, I gotta order a baseline MacBook to get better tech than the MBP??

Tim Apple has gone off crazy into the orchard.

Should we even bother to buy a new iPhone in the EU?

I hope so… probably delayed again

Ok. But what about 18.0?

Why not? Look at that neat fully new capture button that we all wished for years! If that’s not innovative enough for you…

Nope

Wonder if we will get the next beta today alongside 18 RC

What about 18.0?

 

[soldano]

How can they not get iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence out sooner? "Sometime in October" is lame.

 

[GraXXoR]

available on iPhone 15 pro and newer.... In other words, they are basically saying they are reducing full support to 1 year.

Resale value is going to plummet. Despite them actually saying older iPhones hold their value in the video.

Figured…. In the past the updates were available after this event but no longer I see and I have to wait till October?????

Did they say Europe anywhere? Their additional languages portion suggests this is anywhere but the EU (all languages are also spoken outside EU, like french in Canada or Spanish in south america).

RC's tonight?

 

[npmacuser5]

The real AI work for my needs, iPad and Mac. Not the iPhone. iPhone for mobile when I have nothing else to use.

 

[KALLT]

What about 18.0?

16 September. iPadOS 18 and macOS 15 too.

 

[melchior]

Ok. But what about 18.0?

September 16

Developer Beta, Public Beta, Commercial Beta

According to Apple we shouldn’t.

 

[Think|Different]

LFG! The future of the Apple ecosystem starts with this, it's really that game changing when there's relevant context.

 

[msackey]

Ok. But what about 18.0?

Was wondering the same thing too. Is 18.0 coming out in September?

Also, I think it's a good thing that the updates overall weren't "major". Don't need totally newly refreshed product lines every year. Not sustainable.
