During last week's WWDC 2024 event, Apple introduced Apple Intelligence, a new service that marks the company's entry into the artificial intelligence space. While the firm demonstrated some AI technologies at WWDC that would be added to iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks, these features were not included in the initial developer beta that the company released a few hours later. 

The majority of Apple Intelligence features won't be accessible for people to test until later this summer, according to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. Furthermore, the service will be accessible as a preview to emphasize that it's not yet ready for daily usage until it finally launches in September along with the stable edition of iOS 18. 

According to reports, Apple Intelligence may require users to sign up for a waitlist in order to access some capabilities, and it will initially only be accessible to a select group of Apple customers in American English.

Usually, Apple publishes the most recent version of iOS in mid-September, right after the introduction of the new iPhone series. However, the new features need to be finished by mid-August since these devices need to be produced and equipped with the newest OS weeks in advance. Apple is probably going to release the new AI capabilities gradually over several months, as many won't be available in time.

Apple may have some much-needed time to develop its cloud infrastructure, train its AI models, and stop the possible spread of false information if it chooses to roll out Apple Intelligence in stages.
