Apple Intelligence makes first appearance in iOS 18.1 developers beta, teasing a generative AI future

Apple Intelligence presentation.

Rumors of Apple Intelligence's delays may have been greatly exaggerated. Apple's own brand of generative AI, which is set to spread across iPhones, iPads, and Macs later this year, is arriving today – at least bits of it – in an early form developer betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1.

It's the first early access to Apple's promised generative features and a hopeful sign that some parts of Apple Intelligence will arrive with the eagerly-anticipated iPhone 16. Apple is rolling out iOS 18.1 dev beta, iPadOS 18.1 dev betas, and macOS 15.1 dev betas to developers and supporting devices now to help developers understand Apple's artificial intelligence intentions and prepare for Apple intelligence. The news comes just a day after Bloomberg reported delays that might have meant Apple Intelligence wouldn't have arrived in time for iPhone 16. Now, it seems like the next iPhone is almost guaranteed to have at least a little bit of Apple Intelligence.
