distressing intelligence from inside Apple Park , where the engineering team is reportedly scramble to lot with the more and more dire state of iOS 18 growth .
The public adaptation of Io 18.0 launch back in September , but it did so without the inclusion body ofApple Intelligence , the most highly forestall new feature for this cycle . It ’s problematical whether the company always planned to arrest back Apple Intelligence until a later software system update , but it seems unlikely , given that this meant the iPhone 16 plunge without its flagship characteristic .
Apple Intelligence finally arrived as part of the iOS 18.1 update at the remainder of October , but was still overleap many of its features ( include Image Playground , the heavily hyped productive AI exemplification feature ) , not to mention reenforcement for any rural area other than the U.S. England - language users in Australia , Canada , Ireland , South Africa , New Zealand , and the U.K. had to wait untiliOS 18.2 , which has just arrived , and Apple is set to carry on adding unexampled AI feature well into 2025 .
iPhone owner in other countries who are keen to hear out Apple Intelligence may be embolden by a seeming leak by Apple , which take in the iOS 18.2 press release that the “ initial set ” of extra languageswill get in April 2025 . It ’s not clear which will be first , but the caller said it ’s working on support for “ Chinese , English ( India ) , English ( Singapore ) , French , German , Italian , Japanese , Korean , Portuguese , Spanish , and Vietnamese . ”
Nevertheless , according to well - informed Bloomberg reporterMark Gurman , the iOS 18 rollout is not going accord to programme . So much so that engineers who were supposed to be working on next year ’s iOS 19 update have been recite to shift in with iOS 18 rather . “ leading to delays of some features scheduled for iOS 19 . ”
Gurmanpreviously reportedthat Apple was work on a major upgrade for Siri in iOS 19 , including the developing of a of more advanced great language example . It ’s not clear whether this delay will switch the schedule for that spillage or if it was always planned for a mid - cycle launching like the “ next - gen Siri ” come as part of Io 18 in 2025 .
That diversion of resources may help in the myopic term , but it ’s storing up trouble for the future . With the result that iOS 19 , according to Gurman , will have a staggered rollout of features much like iOS 18 , and features that might have been slat to appear in iOS 19.0 being push back to a later release .
