Apple today announced that iOS 18.1 will be released sometime in October. The software update will add the first Apple Intelligence features to the iPhone 15 Pro models and all four new iPhone 16 models.
iOS 18.1 is already available in beta for developers and includes Apple Intelligence features such as writing tools for proofreading text, notification summaries, suggested replies in the Messages app, the ability to record and transcribe phone calls, and a new “Clean Up” tool in the Photos app that lets you quickly remove objects from a photo.
Apple Intelligence will initially only be available with the device and Siri language set to English, and the features will be marked as “beta” even in the publicly released version of iOS 18.1, which comes out next month. Apple said support for more languages, including Chinese, French, Japanese and Spanish, will be added next year.
