In October, Apple Intelligence features exited beta with the full rollout of iOS 18.1 to the public. However, not every one of the AI-powered capabilities Apple's promised is available right away. Instead, Apple is going with a staggered release, putting out some features right away with iOS 18.1 and rolling out the rest in updates throughout the rest of this year and into 2025.
As a reminder, Apple Intelligence is limited to select phones — the iPhone 16 models along with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Other iOS 18-compatible phones can download updates like iOS 18.1, though they won't be able to run any Apple Intelligence features. What's more, Apple Intelligence will also be made available through updates to iPadOS and macOS Sequoia released at the same time as Apple's iOS updates.
The new iPad mini, which also launched in October, is fully AI-capable with the integrated A17 Pro chip.
