Apple Intelligence beta access will have a waitlist, as discovered in the code of iOS 18. The waitlist feature is indicated by specific strings like “Join the Graymatter Waiting List” and “Joined Waitlist.” Additionally, there is a mention of a “limited preview” for Apple Intelligence, codenamed Graymatter in iOS 18.
For users outside the US, Apple has mentioned that there may be delayed responses when using Apple Intelligence. This could be due to the limited preview phase that the feature is in currently. The exact timing of when users can expect full access to Apple Intelligence remains uncertain, especially since Apple plans to continue labeling the new AI features as ‘beta’ even after the official launch of iOS 18.
Despite the waitlist and potential delays, Apple Intelligence will be free for users and will be available in beta as part of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia this fall in U.S. English. While the developer beta 1 of iOS 18 does not include any Apple Intelligence features, users can anticipate the gradual rollout of these features in future betas.
As a journalist, I previously shared my excitement about trying out the AI features of Apple Intelligence and my initial impressions of the iOS 18 developer beta 1. It will be interesting to see how Apple continues to develop and improve this new feature in the coming months.
In conclusion, the waitlist for Apple Intelligence beta access and the mention of potential delays for users outside the US are important details to consider. Despite these challenges, Apple Intelligence remains a highly anticipated feature that will be available to users for free in the near future. Stay tuned for more updates on the development of Apple Intelligence and its accessibility to users worldwide.
