Apple Intelligence was one of the highlights of the Apple Event 2024 last night. At the event, Apple CEO Tim Cook detailed the features that Apple Intelligence would enable on various Apple devices, which includes iPhones, iPads and Macs. In addition to talking about the features and functionalities offered by the company's 'personal intelligence system', Cook also divulged when Apple Intelligence would arrive on the supported devices.

Apple Intelligence update availability

While Apple will start rolling out iOS 18 update globally starting September 16, Apple Intelligence will not arrive on iPhones, iPads and Macs until next month. Apple has confirmed that it will begin rolling out the first set of Apple Intelligence-powered features next month with the roll out of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1.

Apple has also confirmed that Apple Intelligence will first be available in the US English next month.
