Apple Intelligence Features Still Coming in Later iOS 18 Developer Beta

Apple Intelligence is still not available as of the fourth developer beta of iOS 18 this week, leading some to wonder if the features have been delayed. However, we have confirmed that Apple still plans to add some of the new Apple Intelligence features to an upcoming beta this summer. In other words, developers will be able to test the first Apple Intelligence features at some point before iOS 18 is widely released to the public.

Apple Intelligence General Feature
Given that public betas of iOS are based on developer betas, Apple Intelligence will likely be added in an upcoming iOS 18 public beta version as well.

Apple in mid-June removed the "this summer" timeframe that initially appeared at the bottom of its Apple Intelligence page for developers, but as we stated above, there is no change in plans from what Apple announced at WWDC. The features will likely be added before the end of August, ahead of iOS 18 being widely released in September.

Apple Intelligence features will be available in U.S. English only at launch, and they will require an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. The features will also be available on Mac and iPad models equipped with an M1 chip or newer.

Apple Intelligence will be able to summarize text, prioritize notifications and emails, and generate custom emoji and images, while the technology will also power a smarter version of Siri with richer language understanding, deeper per-app controls, on-screen awareness, and more. Apple said some of the features, along with support for additional languages and software platforms, will be added "over the course of the next year."

Even when iOS 18 is widely released in September, Apple said some of the Apple Intelligence features will still be considered a "preview" for all users. The full rollout of Apple Intelligence on the iPhone is expected to be completed in 2025.

even though it's not added. I have noticed that my autocorrect, word completion and grammar check being a lot better and quicker. so much so, I've removed Grammarly. not too sure if its a precursor to AI but definitely welcomed

This better be available on release day. Its the biggest feature of iOS18, and if they push it to .1 or .2 it will be pathetic.
Apple Intelligence is not a single new feature. It is a set of new features in almost every app in the OS. Each app’s AI integration will come out at different times when it is ready. We know some of the more advanced interactions with Siri will not be ready until after the first of the year. This is a big push and I’d rather some parts be in .1 or .2 than all of it be in .0 and have too many bugs.

Let's not kid ourselves. AI was a cover for what would've been an update focused on shaded icons that can be placed anywhere on the home screen otherwise.

iOS 18 is literally nothing without AI included.
Updates to Safari, Mail and Messages, revamped Control Center, biggest Photos redesign in years, Passwords app, new way to customize home and lock screens, Math Notes, updates to Home, Journal, new AirPods features…. But yeah, it’s literally nothing without AI.

Except it’s quite a solid update without AI.

Well its almost like apple started with the AI stuff only few months ago and they really didn’t have anything special for iOS 18. Since they wanna sell new hardware they come up with “later this year” or “early next year”. Its so sad really…they had years wasted doing nothing with Siri…
no they didn’t, references to private cloud compute servers can be found in iOS 16.4

I'll update once AI is fully available. I'm growing tired of Apple's "Coming Soon" software strategy.
