Doesn’t this just mean we will get Apple Intelligence in our localised version of English in the 18.2 release? Shouldn’t we still receive Apple Intelligence in the UK in US English in 18.1 like the current beta?
Got a tip for us?

iOS 18.2 Expected in December With These New Features

I know the December time frame was picked because past x.2 releases were in December, but past releases didn't have the scale of Apple Intelligence and 18.1, the first AI containing release, has only been in beta for a few weeks. If 18.1 gets released in mid-October, it only leaves a couple months for beta testing 18.2 - not much time given that developers probably won't do much work over the holidays. Either there won't be much in 18.2 or it'll come out in the new year, in my opinion.
I didn't know English was so different in these other countries
Yes, if you have the relevant settings enabled on a qualified device, you’d still be able to access Apple Intelligence beta until we get the localised version in December for the UK 🙂
You say “to-may-to” I I say “to-mar-to” 😝.
Also, in America, you wouldn’t be wearing a thong like an Australian person would 😬
iOS 25? Did you jump in a Delorean, hit 88 MPH, and travel into the future?
In fact, I don’t even bother to wait anymore. Marquee Says it very well: don’t buy a product with the promise of things coming in the Future. Once Apple is accustomed to delay release features promised, I bet their sales number will take a sizeable hit. Wait, we have new users every year? Nvm.
And this is why customers should clearly express their frustration and disappointment. It’s a multi-billion-dollar company with the best lawyers, developers, and resources, yet it is almost a year behind the competition, a few months behind its own schedule, and still advertises its product as ‘the best they’ve ever made.’. Best for who? One country, and not now but in October with next update? It's getting silly.
Yeah, I used to get excited, but now? I have a 15 Pro Max and I cannot think of a really good reason to drop another $1,000.00 +.
They almost got me with a Black Ultra 2. I already have a titanium colored Ultra 2, and I pre-ordered the black one while chasing the shiny bauble.
Happy to report I cancelled that order and I have successfully escaped the Apple Yearly Bauble fest, aka, "September."
they did forced apple to have usb-c and open store. so that's two wins. AI regulation will get there
Blame the EU idiots, not Apple. Apple is sick of jumping through hoops to please these morons.
For some reason Google was able to rollout their AI features in Pixel lineup, without violating DMA. Same with Galaxy phones and other smartphone manufacturers.
Well, it seems Apple doesn't want to waste the effort on it. And good for them. I'd withhold basically everything from them for being so petty.
Fortunately you are not in charge, that business wouldn't last long.
And well, most customers are not very loyal. They will just choose the best option for them.
I'm not a fan of DMA in the form it was introduced in EU, but fighting it with such decisions would hurt Apple itself more that EU and customers.
Tim: oh yea we are not wasting our time selling our products in your country.
EU: ...
