Cupertino-based Apple will roll out the iOS 18.1 update later this month, bringing a host of AI-driven features powered by its own Apple Intelligence suite. According to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the update is expected on Monday, October 28, continuing Apple's tradition of releasing software updates at the beginning of the week.
Interestingly, this latest update promises significant improvements, especially in the area of artificial intelligence, which Apple previewed earlier this year at the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
One of the most anticipated features in the iOS 18.1 update is new tools for improving user experience in photography, writing, and web browsing. The Photos app is likely to introduce an object removal tool, which will allow users to seamlessly remove unwanted elements from their photos. Another highlight could be the automatic movie making tool, which allows users to generate videos from their photos and clips with minimal effort.
In addition, Apple is integrating writing tools and web page summarization capabilities into the Safari browser, designed to streamline online reading and productivity.
The update also includes a refreshed Siri look, which promises improved user interaction and more intuitive commands. However, certain AI features, including the much-talked-about Genmoji and Image Playground, may not be available in iOS 18.1. These tools, which are expected to provide iPhone users with immersive generative AI capabilities, could instead arrive with the iOS 18.2 update, scheduled for next year.
Although the iOS 18 operating system was first released last month, many of the advanced Apple Intelligence features have yet to be rolled out, even on the recently launched iPhone 16 series. Apple is reportedly taking extra time to ensure the update is polished and that its cloud servers are prepared for the increased AI traffic.
With iOS 18.1, Apple continues its push to integrate AI into everyday iPhone use, promising a more dynamic and user-friendly experience.
