Apple Intelligence is not expected to be introduced in the initial release of iOS 18
Release plans for software developers later this week
It seems that Apple's introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) services will be delayed from the initial schedule. The first release of the next basic software (OS) version for the smartphone “iPhone” and the tablet type terminal “iPad” cannot be made in time, but time for bug correction will increase.

According to multiple stakeholders familiar with the situation, deployment of the AI function “Apple Intelligence (Apple Intelligence)” to general users is expected to begin as part of a software update to be provided by October. In other words, it is said that it will be introduced a few weeks after the first release of “iOS 18” and “iPadOS 18” scheduled for September. The person concerned stated anonymously on the grounds that it was private information.
