Apple Intelligence Now Available in New iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia Developer Betas

Apple has introduced an early version of its Apple Intelligence features in the latest betas for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. These betas are available for developers to test alongside the current iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia 15 betas.

Key Points:

  1. Opting In: Developers can choose to opt into the new betas with Apple Intelligence or stay on the standard beta track.
  2. Eligibility: To use Apple Intelligence, you’ll need an iPhone 15 Pro or ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ Max, or an iPad or Mac with an Apple silicon chip.
  3. Features:
    • Writing Tools: Rewrite, spellcheck, grammar check, and summarize text in various apps.
    • Revamped Siri: Siri now maintains context between requests and allows typing instead of voice commands.
    • Mail Summaries: Summaries of messages and Smart Reply options.
    • Reduce Interruptions: Focus mode filters out unimportant notifications.
    • Photos Enhancements: Natural language search and support for videos.
  4. Upcoming Capabilities: Features like Image Playground, Genmoji, ChatGPT integration, and more will be rolled out over time.
  5. Public Beta: It’s unclear if there will be a public beta for iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and ‌macOS Sequoia‌ 15.1, but Apple plans to release Apple Intelligence in beta later this fall.

Remember that Apple Intelligence is still in the early stages of development, so developers installing the updates should be aware of its beta status.
