I bet Monday Monday Monday
I'm refusing to believe it's not out today. Will give it 15 minutes (on this occasion only).
I speculate that we should give it till 10 / 20 after before we close the book on this potentially not being released. Kinda like it normally happens?
Not giving up on today yet but if not today, it'll be tomorrow
If not tomorrow then next week
If not next week then next month
If not next month then...
The iPhone 16E official page clearly mentions 'personal context' under Apple Intelligence with an asterisk saying 'Some features will become available in software updates in the coming months.' so, it's definitely still happening.
Everything about Apple intelligence, from the marketing to the release screams incompetence.
Yeah, and it looks like Mark Gurman got it wrong yet again when he claimed those features were being delayed and move to iOS 18.5.
SPOILER ALERT!If not tomorrow then next week
I think one thing a lot of people forget myself included is that these are developer betas. They’re meant mainly for developers to test new APIs and make code changes.
With this fact and the idea that most of the Siri on screen awareness APIs are already available in prior iOS 18 versions, the main blob of changes are Apple related which don’t necessarily need a long “public” beta period. They will test most of their changes internally but we just get to see them in prerelease as a side effect of running betas.
New Apple intelligence languages for example… not really something Apple need developers to provide feedback on.

Can I ask how does the beta not being out yet prove Gurman was wrong about delays or whatever? And what exactly has Gurman done to make you despise him so much?
So why is it okay to release a $1200 phone and advertise Apple intelligence everywhere trying to mislead people? Why is it okay to have 3 months now of zero updates for Apple intelligence? And announcing a new phone today, doing the exact same bs acting like it’s gonna have AI.
