Here’s When iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence is Expected to Released

Published

on

During Apple’s September event where the iPhone 16 series was unveiled, Apple Intelligence stood out as a key feature. However, the latest iPhones did not launch with Apple Intelligence capabilities, a point of criticism from both analysts and fans. Apple did announce that Apple Intelligence would arrive later this year with an iOS 18 update. Now, renowned Apple analyst Mark Gurman has shared the anticipated release date for iOS 18.1.

Mark Gurman Confirms iOS 18.1 Release Date In his latest newsletter, Gurman reports that Apple will release iOS 18.1, which includes Apple Intelligence, on October 28, 2024. The update will bring these features to both the new iPhones and other compatible devices. According to Gurman, the delay was necessary to ensure the features were polished and to prepare Apple’s AI cloud infrastructure for handling complex tasks that go beyond the capabilities of on-device processing.

What Apple Intelligence Features Will Come with iOS 18.1?

So far, iOS 18 beta users have had early access to Apple’s AI tools, and the stable release is expected to include these same features. With iOS 18.1, users will gain access to Notification Summaries, a Clean-Up tool, Writing Tools, an updated Siri interface, and the new Reduce Interruptions Focus mode, among other features.

Gurman also provided insights into the timeline for future Apple Intelligence updates. For instance, ChatGPT integration is planned for the iOS 18.2 update, expected to roll out in December 2024.

It remains unclear whether Apple Intelligence will have a waitlist for access, as was the case with the iOS 18 beta.

While the staggered release of Apple Intelligence has caused some frustration among eager users, we now have a confirmed release date for these highly anticipated features.

Red Sea Cable Cuts Cripple Microsoft Azure, Disrupt 17% of Global Internet Traffic

Multiple undersea fiber optic cables were cut in the Red Sea, disrupting Microsoft Azure services and slowing internet traffic across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe—affecting nearly 17% of global connectivity.

Multiple undersea fiber optic cables in the Red Sea were damaged, causing significant disruptions to Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform and affecting internet connectivity across India, Pakistan, UAE, and other regions.

The impact:

  • Microsoft Azure users experiencing increased latency, especially for Asia-Europe traffic routes
  • Nearly 17% of global internet traffic flows through Red Sea cables
  • Key systems affected include SMW4, IMEWE, SEACOM/TGN-EA, AAE-1, and EIG cables
  • Failures occurred near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Microsoft’s response: “Undersea fiber cuts can take time to repair; as such, we will continuously monitor, rebalance, and optimize routing to reduce customer impact in the meantime.”

The broader concern: The Red Sea is one of the world’s most critical internet chokepoints. With ongoing regional conflicts, experts worry critical digital infrastructure could become deliberate targets.

Repair timeline: Subsea cable repairs typically take weeks due to the logistics of mobilizing cable repair ships and securing permits in politically sensitive waters.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced a major breakthrough today with the company’s AI5 chip design, calling it “epic” and predicting the upcoming AI6 could be “the best AI chip by far”.

In a social media post, Musk revealed: “Just had a great design review today with the Tesla AI5 chip design team! This is going to be an epic chip. And AI6 to follow has a shot at being the best AI chip by far.”

What makes this significant:

  • Tesla is consolidating from two chip architectures to one, focusing all silicon talent on a single incredible chip
  • Musk believes AI5 will be “the best inference chip for models with fewer than 250 billion parameters”
  • The chip offers “the lowest silicon cost and highest performance-to-power ratio”
  • AI6 is expected to advance these capabilities even further

The job recruitment angle: Musk is actively recruiting engineers, emphasizing they’d be working on chips that “save lives” where “milliseconds matter”—clearly referencing Tesla’s autonomous driving ambitions.

This comes after Tesla shut down its Dojo supercomputer project last month, with the company deciding to focus resources on a single chip architecture rather than splitting development.
