Apple’s highly anticipated AI tools won’t be part of the initial iOS 18 release this fall as the company continues its catch-up efforts in AI. Instead, the company plans to rollout some of these features in iOS 18.1, expected a few weeks later.

A reminder: Only those with an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and later, and Apple Silicon iPads and Macs will be able to get .

Joanna Stern for The Wall Street Journal:

If you’ve got one of those devices and iOS/iPadOS 18.1, you’ll get access to the following:

With the redesigned assistant, you can move between talking and texting. It will also have a more natural voice, and it can better understand you if you flub or change your ask midsentence. (Example: “Set an alarm for 3 a.m., oh wait, I mean 3:10 a.m.”) Siri can also answer questions about your Apple products and their settings. 


Available wherever you’re able to copy and paste text, these can proofread and rewrite your words. The AI can also take a big chunk of text and summarize it, and even distill it into a list or a table. 


The Photos app supports natural language search and can create a video based on a written prompt. (Example: “A movie about my trip to the New Jersey Shore.”)

Before the New Year’s Eve ball drops, Siri will get ChatGPT integration and the ability to tap in to your personal context.

Stern reports that the rest of the features shown at WWDC will have to wait for updates that are likely to extend into 2025 and include: Image creation/editing, more context for Siri, so users can hold actual conversations, and, of course, support for additional languages and countries (many of which could take years).
