Apple's latest artificial intelligence features are now slated for an October rollout, according to a Bloomberg report released on Monday. Originally intended to debut with the new iPhone and iPad software updates, these features have been delayed due to stability concerns and the need for broader testing.
The tech giant had initially planned to introduce these AI capabilities in a beta version this fall. The features, which include ChatGPT integration and enhancements to Siri, are anticipated to boost sales of the new iPhone 15 Pro models and newer devices. However, users will now have to wait a bit longer for these advancements.
Developers will get a sneak peek at the Apple Intelligence features this week with the release of the iOS 18.1 beta version. This early access is crucial for ironing out any issues before the full public release.
Apple first unveiled its ambitious Apple Intelligence project on June 10. The suite of AI tools will be available not only on the latest iPhones but also on all Macs and iPads equipped with the M1 chip or newer. These features are designed to enhance user experience by proofreading and rewriting text in various tones, creating custom emojis, and summarizing and transcribing phone calls.
Although Apple has yet to comment on the report, the anticipation for these AI features is palpable. As October approaches, both developers and consumers eagerly await the enhancements that promise to redefine user interaction with Apple devices.
