Though Apple has marketed the iPhone 16 as the first iPhones with Apple Intelligence, we still don't have a concrete timeline for when the full suite of AI-powered features will roll out. However, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the public will finally get to try out Apple Intelligence when iOS 18.1 exits beta at the end of October.
In his latest Power On Newsletter, Gurman said Apple pushed back its previous release window of mid-October to "ensure that major bugs are eliminated and it can support all the new traffic on its AI cloud servers" as millions of users install the update. iOS 18.1, which will go live on Monday, October 28, will bring AI-powered notification summaries, a new Clean Up tool to remove unwanted people and objects from photos, and more.
