Apple’s highly anticipated AI features have been delayed. Despite initial promises, the company launched its iPhone 16 series without incorporating these advancements. While Apple assured users that AI capabilities would be introduced soon, the exact timeline remained unclear.
A recent leak from Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman has shed light on the release date. According to his sources, Apple plans to debut some AI features with the release of iOS 18.1 on October 28th. The company is taking extra time to ensure the software is bug-free and their cloud servers can handle the expected influx of users.
The initial AI features will focus on writing tools like rewriting, proofreading, and summarization. Additionally, users can expect natural language photo search, object removal tools, and the ability to create personalized videos from memories.
Apple has indicated that more AI features will be introduced later in the year and beyond. This includes Genmoji functionality, ChatGPT integration, and an upgraded Siri, which is slated for release in March.
While Apple is making efforts to catch up with competitors like Google and Samsung in the AI space, the delayed rollout of these features might disappoint some users who were eagerly anticipating these advancements.
