iOS 18.1 With Apple Intelligence Features to Roll Out on This Date

Apple will introduce the iOS 18.1 update for iPhone later this month, according to a report. It will bring artificial intelligence (AI) features powered by Apple Intelligence — the company's AI suite. This is said to include an object removal tool in the Photos app, automatic movie creation, writing tools, web page summarisation and a new look for Siri. However, Apple has confirmed that features such as Genmoji and Image Playground will not be released for iPhone until next year.

Apple first previewed the iOS 18 update containing AI features at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 in June. Although the operating system (OS) was released for iPhone last month, Apple Intelligence features are yet to be rolled out. Even the latest iPhone 16 series, which Apple says has been built for AI from the ground up, remains eluded.

In the latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman highlighted that Apple is planning to roll out the iOS 18.1 update with Apple Intelligence features on October 28. It falls on a Monday, continuing Apple's trend of releasing software updates for its devices on the first day of the week.
