Apple has released the iOS 18.1 Beta to developers, allowing them to test some of its upcoming AI-powered Apple Intelligence features before they are released for testing in the public previews.
Apple Intelligence was first unveiled at the company's 2024 Worldwide Developer Conference, revealing Apple's AI strategy for upcoming devices.
The feature was expected to be released with iOS 18 on compatible devices, but Bloomberg reported over the weekend that it would not be included in the initial release.
"iOS 18.1 beta is an early preview of an update to iOS 18 that will be available later this fall. This beta introduces an initial set of features powered by Apple Intelligence," reads iOS 18.1 beta release notes seen by BleepingComputer.
"Apple Intelligence is available on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple Intelligence is not currently available in the EU or China."
