The first set of Apple Intelligence experiences are already available on eligible iPhones, iPads, and Macs, which include new Siri and AI writing tools. Apple will deliver an additional set of AI features such as Image Playground and Genmoji in the upcoming iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 updates, suggested a report by Bloomberg.

These updates are speculated to arrive on December 2, considering there will be no last-minute delays. However, the wait for the ChatGPT-infused Siri continues. It is likely to arrive with the future iOS 18.4 update, possibly by early 2025.

The iOS 18.2 update will also enable a slightly broader release of Apple Intelligence, which is currently limited to US English. This simply means that more Apple device users in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK can experience the latest AI features.

Users with the iPhone 15 Pro series, iPhone 16 series, select iPad, and Macs with Apple Silicon will be able to experience the Apple Intelligence post the update.

Cupertino has also confirmed that Apple Intelligence will be coming to India in Indian English and a few other languages such as French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese in April 2025.

While there is still a bit of a wait to experience the full suite of AI features from Apple, the company is slowly but steadily adding more capabilities and expanding these features to more markets.

We expect Apple to complete the rollout of all the officially announced Apple Intelligence features by WWDC 2025, when the company is likely to unveil the iOS 19 and the next versions of Apple Intelligence.
