With the upcoming release of the iPhone 16 series, iOS 18 is set to follow soon after, likely around September 20, 2024. However, some of its most anticipated features, like Apple Intelligence, may not be available immediately. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
Apple Intelligence will introduce AI features like generative writing tools, web page summaries, and smart replies, but many features will arrive later. The first batch, including basic AI functions, will likely roll out in iOS 18.1 around October.
Image Playground, an AI tool that creates original images in different styles, is expected in iOS 18.2, likely releasing by December.
Genmoji, which allows users to create custom emojis, will also be part of iOS 18.2 in December.
ChatGPT integration into Siri is coming by December, allowing Siri to collaborate with ChatGPT for more complex tasks.
Features like Siri’s improved contextual understanding and screen awareness will take longer, potentially arriving in 2025.
While some key features will be delayed, iOS 18 promises exciting AI innovations that will unfold over time.
