Apple Intelligence is the name the company has given to its upcoming artificial intelligence features that are expected to affect various parts of iOS, iPadOS and macOS. Image generation tools and a smarter version of Siri are among the changes coming.

iOS 18 and iOS 18.1 – Apple FINALLY Does It!

With iOS 18 coming in September and Apple announcing the features during last month’s WWDC, the consensus was that these new features would arrive with the next iPhone. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, citing “people with knowledge of the matter,” reports that Apple Intelligence has been delayed until October.

This means the new AI features won't arrive on the iPhone 16 until an update is released a few weeks after the phone launches.

Additionally, Gurman says that some Apple Intelligence features will still be missing from the launch of iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, specifically two Siri features that help answer questions: On-screen awareness and device data usage.
