Since the launch of iOS 18, and after the first betas of iOS 18.1everything indicated that October would be the month where we would officially see the new version of Apple for iPhone with all the new features of Apple Intelligence, or at least the first interesting ones, since they will continue to arrive month after month.
Now, Mark Gurman, would have set an exact day for the launch of this version, and, based on all the data we already have, it seems more than reliable that it will be that day, so, except for surprise, we would have nothing left to be able to test it , even though we already have betas for it. Let’s see all the details.
iOS 18.1 Release Date
The first thing to remember is that in Europe we remain the same, and it seems that, for the moment, the emergence of AI in our territory is a simple illusion, so if you live in Spain, or another country in the European Union , I’m sorry, and you won’t care about iOS 18.1, since it is a version aimed at Apple Intelligence, and you will not be able to enjoy its tools here.
If you are lucky enough to belong to another place, you will be able to use it, and the day that Gurman confirms to us that it can be downloaded officially is the October 28a Monday, a fairly common day for this type of releases, being the last of the month, a month in which iOS 18.1 was expected and which it seems that Apple will deliver.
This does not mean, as we mentioned, that all the functions will already be available, and there are many that we will see throughout the year and early 2025. What’s more, the Spanish We won’t have it until possibly March or April 2025, so it may be something important for many, and that new Siri looks very good, but we would like to be able to talk to her in our language, even though it works very well in English. good.
For now we have to wait, and although everything indicates that it will be true, a failure in any of the betas, like the one that the Apple Watch has had in watchOS 11.1 could delay it, since they are not going to launch it with a major error, for What we hope is that everything goes well, and above all, that there is an agreement with the EU and all the countries in the world can enjoy it, since many people have purchased the latest model thinking about it, and they are not going to have all these functions .
The calendar marks iOS 18.2 in Decemberwhere we would already see support for ChatGPT, Image Playground and Genmoji for the creation of custom emojis, among other functions, with emoticons being one of the most anticipated, at least by me.
And you, what do you think of all this? Does the launch of the AI news seem late to you? Would you have waited to announce them on the iPhone 17 and release them all at once in iOS 19? The truth is that for those who have changed models thinking about them, it is somewhat slow, although we know that when Apple launches something, it launches it well.
