Apple’s AI features delayed

The Brief: According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple’s highly anticipated AI features, collectively known as Apple Intelligence, will not be included in the initial release of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 this September, instead rolling out in later updates.

The details:

• Apple Intelligence is now planned for release by October, a few weeks after the initial iOS 18 launch.

• Developers will get early access to test Apple Intelligence features as soon as this week via iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 betas.

• Some advanced Siri features will be missing even from the October release, with the full rollout stretching into 2025.

• The news comes alongside the company signing the White House’s voluntary commitment to developing safe, secure and trustworthy AI on Friday.

Why it matters: While it may disappoint Apple and AI fans, the slower rollout approach shows Apple’s long-devoted strategy for releasing stable, polished features. But with Apple Intelligence getting delayed and Siri 2.0 not arriving until 2025 — the early ‘demos’ we saw at WWDC in June should’ve probably been called teasers, if anything.
