Unveiling Apple Intelligence: iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 Public Betas Now Available
Apple Intelligence, the groundbreaking generative AI platform, has taken a leap towards mainstream accessibility with the launch of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 public betas. Enrolled participants in Apple's public beta program can now experience the innovative features that have been highly anticipated since June.
Currently, Apple Intelligence is only accessible in U.S. English and is not available in the EU and China due to regulatory obstacles. Users in the U.S. can utilize the feature with the latest iPhone models, including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the iPhone 16 lineup.
TechCrunch has tested the developer beta of iOS 18.1, showcasing standout features such as cross-system writing tools, Clean Up for Photos, and significant improvements to Siri. The Writing Tools feature utilizes generative AI to offer text rewriting in various styles, while Siri undergoes a major redesign with enhanced onscreen presentation and improved functionality.
With Clean Up for Photos, users can easily remove objects from images, and search capabilities within the app have been enhanced. Users can manually enable Apple Intelligence by joining the waitlist in Settings, and enrolling in the public beta program is simple through beta.apple.com.
More features of Apple Intelligence are expected to be released later this year, promising further enhancements to the user experience. Stay tuned for updates on this revolutionary technology that is set to transform the way we interact with our devices.
