iOS 18 Speculation Thread

[LutzRFrank]

strange - seems to be broken for me. As soon as I set iPhone Region to "Deutschland" - Intelligence is not longer available. Setting it to US I can set German language but it says not available ... but talks to me (only Image Playground says it needs have both (iPhone and Siri language on the same).

Making some step to step tests now with reboots inbetween

Had to switch it Off/On in Siri Settings to get ChatGPT back …

It looks the AI is still locked on CN variants, just like the good old note in XCode “all except the CN sku”.

Glad I have my US account running on the Japanese variant for all the features, thanks Tim for kneeling to Papa Xi.

New styles in the Image Playground on the iPadOS, Illustration and Sketch.

 

[LutzRFrank]

Do you have the ChatGPT option in Siri?

Came back after completed download of the intelligence files.
Can set region to “Deutschland” but have to keep iPhone language EN US.
Changing Siri language to German works but says it doesn’t… but playground stops working.

Ok, seems that is why we test the beta…

Biggest Plus already, I can finally use my EU iTunes library again

Strange, I have set everything to German and still can use AI without problems

I’ve been playing with the new beta, and here’s the new features I’ve discovered so far (some of these features are ones I found first hand, others I’ve read about):

• New Control Center toggles including Ambient Music toggles and improved Cellular toggle
• New Sketch style in Image Playground
• New Genmoji button
• New Prioritize Notifications option
• Mail categorization now available on iPad
• New “Connection Security Details” page action in Safari
• New translation app category in Default Apps
• Vision Pro app
• New “Open Conversation” Siri Shortcut Action for Messages
• And of course, additional Apple Intelligence language support

Overall, this is a pretty solid update in my opinion. Plenty of new improvements, and hopefully we’ll see some more as well over the course of this beta cycle. 👍🏻

It might be because the OS language can't be different from the language chosen for Siri.
I hope I'm wrong because I like to keep my iPhone in English and have Siri in Italian 🥲

No such problems here. Region is set to Germany and also language is set to German. Everything works as expected, also Image Playground.

Maybe it’s related to the issue listed in the release notes

• For languages other than English (US), Apple Intelligence support requires Siri to be enabled. (144092696)
  Workaround: Enable "Talk & Type to Siri" to enable Apple Intelligence features. For "Talk to Siri", one of the following options must be selected: "'Hey Siri'", "'Siri' or 'Hey Siri'" or "Press Side Button for Siri".

Or I just didn’t wait long enough for a potent download of the AI modules

Two things definitely aren’t working without an US AppStore ID:
- iPhone mirroring and
- Call Recording
What seems still odd to me.

tested again on the Mac mini - first similar errors (not available in DE) but after patient waiting to load all AI modules it works perfect, Region DE, Mac Language DE and Sire Language DE

It’s worth filing a FB, IMO.
