Bit cheeky Apple selling a product with AI labelled all over it and heavily talked about in the event, but then, when you actually get the phone… No AI until…

How they got that timing all wrong I don’t know. For such a big tech company one would wonder why it’s not all part and parcel and iPhone 16 release with a huge bang of hardware and software.

I’m sure there are many reasons. Still doesn’t change the fact the phone will feel half baked.

Pre-Ordered 16Pro 🤞. Can’t wait!
 
Please confirm that there is no option available for the 18.1 Developer Beta in Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Software Update. I have the option for iOS 18.0 Public and Developer Options only on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. The 18.1 option has disappeared.

Considering Siri has stopped working all together for many in Beta 3 in the past 24 hours and stuck on "downloading" I'd say that's a pretty big bug that can't wait a few weeks to fix...
Yeah, that’s an annoying bug for sure. Thankfully since I’ve got an Apple Watch I just use that for reminders, but it will be nice to have that fixed!
 
Call me skeptical as we are on beta 3 and Apple would not show a previous beta in Software Update, even if was not installed at the time it was available.

We might be at cross purposes here, those aren’t current, they are old screenshots I found.

The purpose was to show the option is showing as iOS 18 beta.

I think the chances to get it tomorrow are somewhere under 5%, right?
Can't remember if they've ever released a new SW on a friday.
 
I’ve read elsewhere that the download eventually finishes. Some report 24 hours others 2 or 3 days. Probably wise not to turn off ai and turn it back on as this might start the whole process of waiting days on end.

At this point I’m just going to leave it alone and see what happens. I have no burning need to use Siri, so I can live without it for a few days if needed.

What’s weird is that all the AI features are working. It’s just Siri that’s not working.
