Apple’s iOS 18 public beta has launched, but there’s one rather glaring omisson: Apple Intelligence is nowhere to be seen. Try the beta today and you’ll notice that the artificial intelligence platform, which promises to take Apple’s devices to the next level capabilities-wise, is totally absent. Worse, it might not even arrive in time for the upcoming iPhone 16 debut in September.
In fact, Apple seems to be taking things a step backwards, and you can see the signs of this if you know where to look. For instance, as 9to5Mac has pointed out, the official Apple Intelligence landing page – created on June 10, the day of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote at which Apple Intelligence was announced – used to say that the feature would arrive “in an upcoming beta this summer.” Now, the page says it’s “coming in beta this fall.”
