You'll get access in a few minutes probably. If it shows that you're on the waitlist, you'll get it.
I didn't have it like that when I updated, I changed it now to try after seeing your message. Well, I'm going back to the way I had it, because it still refuses to give me access. But the fact that it has stopped in EU countries is good news.
I had it configured to US at the time of update, but still not available (in The Netherlands).
Really happy for those live in EU unlocking the Apple Intelligence feature.
Meanwhile in China, tried changing region to US, language to English(US) and Siri to English(US) would not help.
This just again confirms the rumor (or it was a fact but was vaguely disclosed): "ANY EXCEPT CHINA SKU".
Gotta travel somewhere to get the 16 Pro this year, it really sucks for having a phone so UNIQUE.

Your version is the US one, and since you're already on the waitlist, you're halfway there. Congratulations on that.
However, I would like to confirm with EU variant users whether they have succeeded in unlocking AI after beta 2, if it was not possible in beta 1.
The wallpaper parallax effect is broken. Yes, I have motion turned on.
Edit: Fixed after a restart.

I'm in your 2nd case.. phone bought last year from Romania, used in Romania, no AI in beta 1.
You would think they would mention it in the release notes if it were available in the EU now. I was always of the opinion, though, that they should at least provide it in developer betas, so that developers can test and integrate the stuff into their apps, even it was not available to the public.
Just a couple of heads-up from the 18.0 beta 6 release notes (only the Mail issue is also in the 18.1b2 release notes, for some reason):
Photos
Known Issues
- Upgrading from iOS 18.0 beta 5 to iOS 18.1 beta results in a Photos Library rebuild. (131845921)
Mail
Known Issues
- Upgrading from iOS 18.0 beta 5 to iOS 18.1 beta might cause all Mail to redownload. (132930689)
Thank you for your prompt response.
Now I can disgracefully say: ANY EXCEPT CHINA SKU has been proven true. LOL...
Enjoy the AI!
Kinda worried about the IPSWs (which I have been using religiously).
Last 2 times trying to install 18.1 db1 on my M4 iPad Pro & my 15 Pro Max resulted in the devices getting stuck in DFU and I had to restore to 18.0 and then upgrade OTA..
Logged out of icloud account and logged back in and it worked. It now waits for wifi to download support for processing
So instead of fixing the mute button not working in playing videos, they just removed it altogether.
Anyone else seeing this?

Quick question for anyone on 18.1db2 and has an Apple Watch on watchOS 11: what focus mode icon is shown on the watch when you are in the new "Reduce Interruptions" focus? The Apple Intelligence squiggly circle shows on the iPhone and Mac, but I don't have my watch on the beta since you can't downgrade.
