Apple has recently released the iPhone 16, but one of the most exciting features – Apple Intelligence – is still not available to all consumers. The company has been testing these AI-powered features in beta versions of iOS 18, but a public release date has yet to be announced.
Timeline for Availability:
Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered with a timeline of when you can expect to get your hands on Apple Intelligence features:
Writing Tools
The writing tools feature is one of the most impressive AI-powered additions to iOS 18. With this feature, you’ll be able to:
- Proofread and edit your text with ease
- Summarize long texts in a concise manner
- Change tone: switch between professional, friendly, or concise writing styles
Keep in mind that the tools may stumble when handling sensitive topics like swear words or controversy-related subjects such as murder.
Availability Timeline:
- October (with iOS 18.1)
Compatible Devices:
- iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max
- iPhone 16 series
New Siri: An AI Makeover
Siri has been given an AI makeover, complete with a new animation around the border of the screen. This revamped virtual assistant can now better understand your requests, including pauses and changes in requests.
For example, you can ask Siri to set a timer for 15 minutes instead of 10 minutes, all in one go. You can also chat with Siri through text by tapping on the bottom of the screen.
Siri: How-to Assistant
Siri is now more than just a virtual assistant – it’s a how-to expert. With its knowledge of Apple products, you can ask Siri questions like "How do I change my Wi-Fi settings?" or "What’s the best way to use Night Shift on my iPhone?"
Availability Timeline:

Compatible Devices:

Image Cleanup in Photos
Just like Google’s Magic Eraser, the iPhone will soon gain a feature that helps you remove unwanted objects and people from an image.
This AI-powered tool can automatically detect unwanted objects, but you can also manually draw over them or circle them to select these objects or people. Once you press the cleanup button after selecting, Apple Intelligence tries to fill in the gap without ruining the overall aesthetic of the picture.

The new Photos app will be able to create new Memories through prompts, thanks to Apple Intelligence. With this feature, you’ll be able to:
- Create custom photo albums: based on specific events or memories
- Auto-generate photo collages: with a single tap
