Apple Intelligence release date announced
By ForGeeks Apple released iOS 18 last month, but the long-awaited Apple Intelligence — a suite of advanced artificial intelligence-based features — was strangely absent from it. Instead, Apple fans and tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting iOS 18.1 — the first version, which is expected to introduce some of these AI innovations on Oct. 28, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports. That update will likely arrive alongside iPadOS 18.1, marking a coordinated software update for Apple’s mobile devices.

Apple Intelligence, originally announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, is Apple’s ambitious artificial intelligence-based services project designed to improve user experience through enhanced personalization and real-time assistance. However, despite the initial hype, Apple has opted for a phased rollout. Some features will be delayed until 2025, indicating that Apple is in no hurry to perfect the technology. This deliberate approach by the company ensures that major bugs will be ironed out and the artificial intelligence cloud servers will be able to handle the huge influx of users when the features start working. With Apple’s reputation on the line, it’s clear that the company wants the launch to go smoothly.

But the tech giant isn’t stopping there. November 1 is rumored to be the release date for a host of new devices, including a budget 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip, high-end 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro, an updated iMac, and updates to the iPad mini and Mac mini powered by next-generation M4 processors. Official announcements of these devices are expected in the last few days of October.

Apple even plans to release a new version of AirTag, further expanding the ecosystem of devices.
