Apple Intelligence release

According to a 9To5Mac report, Apple is expected to officially release the iOS 18 feature alongside the iPhone 16. While iOS 18 is currently in the fourth cycle of beta versions, Apple Intelligence is yet to be released for developers or public betas. As of now, it is expected that new AI features for iOS 18 may roll out in the upcoming beta releases before its official release in September. Therefore, there is a slight chance that developers may get to experience the Apple Intelligence features before the official rollout of the iOS 18 update. To confirm the claims, Apple's developers' website has also highlighted that  “Apple Intelligence will be available in an upcoming beta.”
