If you’re excited to get your hands on Apple’s new generative AI platform, known as Apple Intelligence, I have some good news and some bad news for you. First, the bad news: Apple Intelligence, the flagship feature of the iPhone’s upcoming iOS 18 software update, will now reportedly not be immediately available when iOS 18.0 launches in September. The company has said merely that it will come out sometime in the fall.

Now the good news: You don’t have to wait. You can try it out today. Here’s how:

Apple Intelligence delayed

Back in June, Apple unveiled Apple Intelligence, its long-awaited entry into the generative AI space. Apple Intelligence bakes in generative AI features across the iPhone’s iOS 18 operating system. These features include an AI-powered Siri, generative text capabilities, generative art (and emoji) creation, and ChatGPT integration.

The news pleased Wall Street and Apple fans alike, the former seeing Apple Intelligence—which is limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and upcoming iPhone 16 models—as the driver for an iPhone upgrade supercycle this fall, and the latter just excited to get their hands on Apple’s first dedicated AI tools.

But they’re going to have to wait a little longer. That’s because Apple has decided to delay the rollout of Apple Intelligence from iOS 18.0 (available in September) to iOS 18.1 (likely not available till October). According to a Bloomberg report, delays are being made to give the company more time to fix bugs.

But this doesn’t mean you need to wait until October to use the iPhone’s new AI tools. In fact, you can start now.

How to get Apple intelligence on your iPhone today

This week, Apple took the unusual step of releasing a second version of the iOS 18 developer beta to members of its Apple Developer Program. The primary iOS 18 developer beta was released in early June, and it covers the iOS 18.0 build of the iPhone’s upcoming operating system—the one still scheduled to launch in September.
