Investing.com– Apple Inc’s (NASDAQ:) recently unveiled artificial intelligence features will be launched later than anticipated, and will not be included in an initial software update of its flagship iPhone and iPad devices, Bloomberg reported on Sunday.
Apple’s AI plans- called Apple Intelligence- will miss the initial September releases of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, the Bloomberg report showed. AI features will be released with the firm major update for the software, with iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 in October.
Apple also plans to make the AI tools available to developers as soon as this week, the Bloomberg report showed.
The company had in June unveiled a slew of new AI-powered features for its flagship devices, as it joined a growing push among major technology firms to lean into AI. Apple Intelligence allows users to generate text, images and is also expected to offer better voice assistant support.
Apple Intelligence will be available on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, the iPad and the Mac with Apple’s M1 chip and later.
AI is expected to help the firm offset steadily slowing sales of its flagship iPhone, which it has faced for over a year amid increased competition and saturation in the smartphone market.
