Apple reportedly releasing iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence features on October 28

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to release iOS 18.1 to the public on October 28th, which will include some of the first Apple Intelligence features.

This goes against previous expectations of a mid October launch, but Gurman says that this is because the company is taking its time to make sure they eliminate any bugs, and also to make sure their private cloud compute servers can handle all of the traffic from millions of public users installing the update.

With iOS 18.1 potentially releasing on October 28th, that means iPhone 16 users can finally use some of the Apple Intelligence features that were promised, just over a month after the phone launched. Although, some of the features shipping in iOS 18.1 might not be the most appealing.
