Apple’s new artificial intelligence features will be delayed and won’t be available with the initial launch of the upcoming iPhone and iPad software updates. According to Bloomberg News, Apple plans to start rolling out these AI features as part of software updates by October, which is a few weeks after the initial iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 releases set for September.

The company intends to make Apple Intelligence available to software developers for early testing through iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 betas starting this week. Apple Intelligence will allow users to generate text, images, and other content using AI and will be accessible on devices like the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad, and Macs with M1 chips and later versions. One feature, iPhone Mirroring on macOS Sequoia, will enable users to view and interact with their phone’s screen on Mac computers.
The delay follows Apple’s decision in late June to postpone launching three new AI features to comply with new European Union tech regulations, which require compatibility with rival products and services.
