Apple just started rolling out Apple Intelligence, the company’s wildly ambitious effort to overhaul its devices with AI.

The new iOS 18.1 developer beta — which went live late Monday morning — includes a limited set of Apple Intelligence features.

Among them are a new glowing, full-screen Siri interface, smart summaries and replies in email and messages, typing commands to Siri, and a new reduced interruptions mode.

However, a bunch of the splashiest new Apple Intelligence features shown at WWDC24 remain AWOL.

We have full details on the first Apple Intelligence release right here.
