The rumored arrival date comes from Bloomberg’s Markgarman posted on X on Friday, February 7th. It’s coming pretty quickly,” he said.
Gurman doesn’t always mention when a developer beta release will arrive. This is an indication of how important this update is. That’s because of a major Siri enhancement, which is thought to land on iOS 18.4 as the next tranche of Apple Intelligence.
As a reminder, Apple Intelligence is available on all models of the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 16 series. Initially, Apple Intelligence will be available in more countries and languages.
Apple Intelligence brings a “new era of Siri,” says Apple. The new design has already arrived, but there will still be features that will make Siri more natural in the future. “Recognizing your personal context, your ability to act in the app, and product knowledge about device features and configuration, Siri can help you more than ever before,” says Apple.
It also has on-screen recognition. “If a friend texts a new address, you can say, ‘Add this address to your contact card.’
There are also other features that work on more phones, such as new emojis, such as tweaking from faces with bags under the eyes and European Union’s default app selection.
Here’s how you think the timetable will play:
First Developer Beta: Weeks starting on Monday, February 10th or the following week (but not Monday, February 17th, but not President’s Day).
First public beta: late February.
Further beta following March with general releases at the end of March or early April.
