Today Apple released a slew of betas, and incidentally sent out an email to developers, which talks about Apple Intelligence. Could this be a sign that AI will finally make an appearance in beta 5 or even tomorrow by magic?
Got a tip for us?

Could Apple Intelligence finally be included in beta 5?

I suspect we’ll hear more about AI at the September keynote. 18.1 will probably be the first release to offer any features in limited beta.
I agree. I don’t see beta 5 being this magic beta that enables a bunch of AI. It will for sure be a slow rollout. I bet we are doing go to get the beta by the release of the iPhone 16s.
Sounds like a royal mess. Releasing 18.1 beta while still testing 18.0. Can’t see this ending well. The full release of 18 is gonna be messy.
iOS 13 had 13.1 betas hit in August, effectively ending 13.0 testing run (Beta 8 of that also turned out to be the eventual buggy-ish public release).
That was mostly due to impending sanctions fears but still a precedent that they‘re willing to meddle with testing cycles.
At the moment, I'm using copilot on Safari to get answers. After the first four replies, you move to another sheet to continue. Faster and easier than searching manually. The info is remembered until you delete them manually, that is, if you are connected with OneDrive on the 'net. Copilot searches through Bing, and it looks like Bing is getting better. Copilot is not connected internally with the Mac, which is better.
Apple AI, would most probably search through Google, but if it gets connected internally with the Mac, then it'd be disabled, or at least that part.

The key word there is “buggy-ish”. We don’t need that. Also some people think they are gonna run 18.0 beta along with 18.1 and only release 18.1 to the devices that can run AI. Not sure I believe that, but seems like a mess waiting to happen. 18.0 is surely not ready for prime time, so moving quickly to 18.1 seems like a real recipe for disaster.
The new betas won’t be due until next week if they follow the 2 week cycle.
I agree I didn’t think they will either, but I don’t think they put out 18.1 just yet. Maybe so, but it seems odd that they would not finish 18.0.
There is a report that Apple launches 18.1 betas this week, that‘s why I said this week.
Oh I got ya. That would be interesting. If they do release it this week, that would be today I would think since all the other betas have been on Monday.
