Apple intelligence delayed until October release

Apple intelligence delayed until October release

Why Trust Us
Apple Release

Apple reportedly may not release its new AI features until after the iPhone and iPad software overhauls planned for September. Apple Intelligence, the company’s AI system, is expected to roll out in October following the initial iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 releases. The later timeframe could allow Apple to address any bugs, although developers may preview Apple Intelligence through iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 betas.

The news follows heightened expectations for AI-driven performance improvements, which have buoyed Apple’s stock this year. This delay might temper expectations for the tech giant amid the anticipated AI-fueled upgrade cycle.

Apple Intelligence delayed until October.

Investors will be keenly watching for updates on Apple’s AI initiatives when the iPhone maker announces its earnings after the bell on Thursday. Additionally, attention will be on how Apple performs in China, where concerns have impacted its stock. Analysts have suggested that the third quarter could represent a bottoming out of demand in that region.

A delayed rollout of AI features in the latest iPhone may disappoint many Apple investors.

Apple shares showed little change in intraday trading on Monday, though they have gained about 13% this year due to enthusiasm over the company’s potential AI advancements. Overall, while the anticipation for AI integration has driven investor excitement, the prospective delay indicates that Apple is prioritizing the refinement and stability of its new features over speed to ensure a seamless user experience.
