iOS 18 Apple Intelligence Feature Will Have Waitlist During Initial 'Limited Preview'

[MacRumors]

The Apple Intelligence features that will be introduced later during the iOS 18 beta testing process will have a waitlist at first, according to code in iOS 18 found by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris.

In iOS 18, Apple Intelligence is codenamed Graymatter. There are references to a waitlist, with specific strings that say "Join the Graymatter Waiting List" and "Joined Waitlist." There is also wording that refers to it as a "limited preview."

"While Graymatter is in limited preview, you may experience unusually slow responses when not in a supported region."

Apple plans to introduce Apple Intelligence during the iOS 18 beta testing period this summer, so the limited preview and waitlist may be something that Apple will use during the beta testing period.

It is possible, however, that there will be a waitlist when Apple Intelligence launches publicly in iOS 18 given some of the issues that other AI services like ChatGPT have experienced at times due to demand. While iPhone users will need an iPhone 15 Pro or later to access Apple Intelligence, it will also be available on all iPhone 16 models, which will launch with iOS 18 installed, increasing the number of people using the feature at launch.

I'm still wondering how much money Apple shelled out to integrate ChatGPT.

Bold of them to use my old company name like that.

I guess they don't have enough GPUs at the Apple Intelligence server farm... gotta limit access to prevent it from crashing under the weight of countless SiriGPT / Genmoji requests.

Isnt CoPilot really slow as well?

 

[klasma]

Gotta scale up those AS servers slowly.

0$ maybe because chatgpt is like a sponsor...

 

[GregJohn]

Hmm that’s disappointing to hear
Here’s hoping the wait isn’t too long

 

[Evagoras2001]

So every now and then that chatgpt is not working, siri won’t be able to do so either. Nice work Apple !!!

P.S: Ppl disliking my comment seem to not having much knowledge or gotten the gist of my comment. I explain it more thorougly in the second page.

Ok, everyone here can have the place in front of me on the waitlist…

 

[Lift Bar]

Why doesn’t it just beta test itself?

That's not accurate.

 

[KurtWilde]

So not ready for prime time.

 

[JPack]

Apple must be waiting for the iPhone 16 sales revenue to roll in before they can afford to buy the servers.

Either that or this thing is more early alpha state than we thought.

 

[AlexJaye]

AKA Apple isn't even ready.

 

[Danilamak]

I'm sure this means stable release in 10 month since announce

 

[idktbh]

Ah, the latest from Apple: a "glorified summariser" they're calling "Apple Intelligence." Classic move, building up the hype and slapping the Apple logo on a basic AI function. Get ready to be underwhelmed!

 

[Chungry]

I’m sure it was not mentioned in the keynote because… just an oversight, maybe pressed for time? LOL

Apple did the same with Maps. 12 years later I don’t even think of using Google Maps.

Made me think of the series finale when I read it

Doubt it. If it were so, there would be no need for so many days of negotiations. It takes server time to process a ChatGPT request and a sudden increase in the requests due to this integration could break ChatGPT for others. Apple is giving something to ChatGPT, if not money.

The demo showed a lot many features. Context awareness across apps seems to be great. However, I will take it with a pinch of salt and will believe it when I see it. If it works, it is great.

 

[TheMountainLife]

Not likely but I'd like to imagine all the Apple engineers are all finding out about this the same time we are and now rushing to make magic happen in less than 5 months lol

When I worked there training didn't drop until 1-2 weeks before the product was due to release

 

[ThunderSkunk]

Cool, they should just make new OS versions only compatible with hardware made in the same year, ensuring everyone trades in last years hardware for 10 or 15 percent of its value for new models every single year. My gods, won't somebody think of the shareholders? For Cook to not do so would be extreme corporate negligence punishable by blah blah blah

 

[NMBob]

Will the same go for the iPad calculator?
