Odaily Planet Daily News Apple Inc.'s upcoming artificial intelligence (AI) features will be released later than expected and will not be released during the initial release of iPhone and iPad software updates, but will give the company more time to fix potential vulnerabilities. According to people familiar with the matter, Apple plans to launch Apple Intelligence to customers as part of a software update by October. People familiar with the matter said that this means that the AI features will be released a few weeks after iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, which were originally scheduled to be released in September. However, they added that Apple plans to provide Apple Intelligence to software developers for early testing for the first time through iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 beta versions as early as this week. But concerns about the stability of its features have, to some extent, led the company to separate these features from the initial release of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. In June this year, Apple announced these new features and operating systems at its Worldwide Developers Conference and said that Apple Intelligence will debut as part of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. The new schedule means that the artificial intelligence feature will not be widely launched until subsequent updates to the new operating systems. An Apple spokesperson declined to comment.
