Apple has officially launched its first wave of Apple Intelligence features in the United States through iOS 18.1, marking the company’s initial step into AI-powered mobile experiences with a phased rollout approach.
Currently Available Features

- More natural-sounding voice
- Improved conversational capabilities
Productivity Tools

- Summary generation tools
Creative Suite

I would say if you download it and you have AI, you might even go, ‘Wait, that’s it?’ Because this is coming out in stages.”
Initial Reception
Tech experts suggest that users might find the initial release somewhat limited in scope, as Apple has opted for a gradual deployment of its AI features rather than a comprehensive launch. This measured approach aligns with Apple’s traditional strategy of refined, tested releases over rapid feature deployment.
How to Access
- Update device to iOS 18.1
- Available in US market initially
