What features in iOS 18 beta 1 and what will come later?

[ManuCH]

So did anyone catch (or read somewhere) which features will already be there in iOS 18 beta 1, and what will come at a later stage? They say Apple Intelligence will be "in beta this fall". Are we getting it in beta 1 already (as alpha 😂) or nothing at all?

It said apple intelligence (beta) would be available later this summer. I bet it will be out with beta 3 and public beta 1.

Apple Intelligence is not in B1, if I had to guess, we'll see it in Beta 4/5. When iOS 18 launches in the Fall, Apple Intelligence will have the 'Beta' label, like other features have had in the past.

Doesnt look like the Mail redesign and features are live yet. On B1 it looks the same as iOS 17

Corect, as per Apple's iOS 18/iPadOS 18 pages, confirmed as 'coming later this year'.

RCS messaging seems to be absent, probably coming in a later beta release.
