Apple Introduces iOS 18.1 Public Beta with Apple Intelligence Features
Apple has launched the iOS 18.1 public beta, allowing users to explore its new Apple Intelligence features before the official release. While the iPhone 16 series was designed with Apple Intelligence in mind, these AI capabilities are not included at launch and will be available through a future software update. The public beta serves as a stable option for users who want to experience these features without the risks associated with the developer beta.
The iOS 18.1 public beta is compatible with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro series, offering users access to improved functionalities such as an upgraded Siri, advanced writing tools, and on-device image generation. Although the public beta is generally more stable than developer versions, users should be aware that it may still have minor bugs. This beta version allows users to test these innovative features ahead of the full stable release expected in the coming weeks.
In addition to iPhones, Apple Intelligence is also available in public beta for eligible Macs and iPads equipped with M-series chips. Users can access these features through the iPadOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 public betas. The rollout of Apple AI is set to significantly enhance the capabilities of Apple devices, introducing more advanced AI-driven tools and functionalities.
