Your iPhone 16 may get its first Apple Intelligence features later this month

The iPhone 16, despite its marketing so far, still doesn’t have Apple Intelligence. That’s set to change on October 28th with the release of iOS 18.1, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter.

The update will bring with it AI-powered notification summaries, Gurman writes. Though he only lists that example, the iOS 18.1 beta has also included some Siri improvements (like understanding you better when you stumble over your words), along with writing tools and a new rainbow-colored glowing edge graphic when you summon Siri on a phone or iPad.

Apple Intelligence only runs on the iPhone 15 Pro and up, but it’s also been available in beta for Macs and iPads with Apple silicon chips (M1 and and up), so even if you don’t have those iPhones, you may still be able to take it for a spin. Looking ahead, it’s also rumored to be supported on the next iPhone SE.

We’ll still have to wait on some of the marquee Apple Intelligence features. Siri carrying out tasks for you across multiple apps and using your information as context hasn’t been part of the betas — that may not come until March next year. Other features, including Apple’s Image Playground and Genmoji, could be out by December.
