Apple Intelligence, which should’ve come out of the box with the new iPhone 16 series, at least the way Apple advertised the device, is set to roll out across multiple iOS updates, hence a staggered release of AI features. Here’s how the rollout is expected to progress:

iOS 18.1

Expected release: Mid-October 2024

  • Initial Apple Intelligence support
  • Writing tools for rewriting, summarizing, and proofreading text
  • Notification summaries for various apps
  • Suggested replies in Messages and Mail
  • “Clean Up” tool in Photos app
  • New “Reduce Interruptions” Focus mode

Other features:

  • Redesigned connectivity section in the Control Center
  • Query suggestions in the Type to Siri interface

iOS 18.1 will be compatible with iPhone 15 Pro models and all iPhone 16 models, initially supporting only U.S. English.

iOS 18.3

Expected release: January 2025

  • Possible expansion of language support for Apple Intelligence features

iOS 18.4

  • Deeper per-app controls for Siri

This update is set to be a major milestone in Apple’s AI strategy. It will significantly boost Siri’s capabilities and expand language support.

The gradual rollout of Apple Intelligence features across these updates is an unprecedented approach for Apple, potentially testing user patience but allowing for thorough development and testing of each feature set.
