Three betas in, iOS 18 testers still can’t try out Apple Intelligence features
What updates are included in iOS 18 and macOS 15 Sequoia?
iOS 18 and macOS 15 Sequoia introduce several updates, including Apple Intelligence features, a more customizable Home screen and Control Center, a built-in calculator for iPads, the ability to access your iPhone directly from your Mac using iPhone Mirroring, and new health features for Apple Watch26. These updates aim to enhance user experience and provide greater convenience and privacy protections.
When are the first public betas for Apple's updates expected?
The first public betas for Apple's updates, including iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia, tvOS 18, HomePod software 18, and watchOS 11, are expected to be released in July16. The exact date is not confirmed, but based on previous years, it could be around mid-July. These public betas allow users to test pre-release versions of the software and provide feedback to Apple.
Are Apple Intelligence features available in the current betas?
No, Apple Intelligence features are not currently available in the iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15 Sequoia betas. The settings menus for these features have appeared in the Xcode Simulator for iOS 18, but they are non-functional placeholders. Apple has said that the first wave of Apple Intelligence features would be available "this summer," and it's possible they may appear in the public beta builds later this month.
