  • Apple Intelligence features will launch as part of the iOS 18.1 update on October 28, according to a trusted journalist.
  • This update is expected to offer writing tools, object-erasing for photos, and a couple of other AI features.
  • You might have to wait until March to get your hands on the updated Siri.

Apple launched the iPhone 16 series last month, but the much-hyped Apple Intelligence AI features weren’t available at release. The company previously revealed that the first AI features will launch next month but didn’t give a date. Now, a trusted source has dished out the day.

Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman revealed in his Power On newsletter that Apple Intelligence features will launch on Monday, October 28 along with iOS 18.1. Gurman’s sources claim that Apple is taking its time with this release to iron out any bugs and to ensure its cloud servers can support all the anticipated traffic.
