Due to concerns about the stability of Apple's asia vets, and to ensure a smooth release to consumers, Apple needs more time to test and fix bugs in its asia vets.
Did the Apple Asia Vets release that was originally planned for September postpone?
According to sources cited by the media, Apple's AI will be introduced to users in the iOS 18 follow-up update in October. This means that the iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 released in September do not have AI capabilities, and Apple's AI will only be available in the subsequent iOS 18 update in a few weeks.$Apple (AAPL.US)$Apple's AI will be launched to users in the upcoming iOS 18 update in October, according to sources cited by the media. This implies that both iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, released in September, will not have the AI feature. To get Apple's AI functionality, users have to wait for few weeks to get the subsequent update to iOS 18.
Although it was postponed for consumers, software developers still have the opportunity to test Apple Asia Vets through the iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 beta versions this week.
This approach is somewhat unusual, because Apple generally follows a conservative release strategy, gradually rolling out updates and improvements after the official version of iOS is released. This time, providing a test version to developers in advance poses a higher risk, as it provides a test version of Apple Asia Vets to developers.
However, due to concerns about the stability of Apple Asia Vets' functionality and to ensure the smooth release of Apple Asia Vets to consumers, Apple needs developers to participate in advance and test various functions on a larger scale to help solve various problems.
To some extent, this is also a key factor in Apple's delay in releasing Apple Asia Vets in September.
Apple released the fourth beta version of iOS 18.0 to developers last week, with a goal of completing development by the end of July.
The delayed release of Apple Asia Vets may mean that the first batch of iPhone16 models to be manufactured this year will lack new AI functions and will need to wait until the software update in October to use AI functions, including tools for efficient writing, Siri upgrades, and integration with ChatGPT.
According to media reports, Apple plans to launch the complete Apple Asia Vets feature through multiple updates to iOS 18 from the end of 2024 to the first half of 2025. In addition to iPhones and iPads, Apple Asia Vets will also be integrated into Macs. In addition, Vision Pro is also being developed to incorporate Apple Asia Vets, but the device will be released later.
