According to a recent report, Apple Intelligence may not be released immediately upon the arrival of iOS 18 later this year, but instead come later as a further update.
This information comes from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who cites several individuals familiar with Apple’s plans. According to the report, Apple plans to hold off releasing Apple Intelligence until October, several months after the release of iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. Supposedly this delay is due to concern about the stability of Apple Intelligence features and the need for developers to have adequate testing time. This would mean the iPhone 16 lineup would require a software update to access the features.
