Apple is pushing back the release of its highly anticipated Apple Intelligence suite of AI tools from September to November, according to a report by Bloomberg News. The delay is reportedly caused by concerns about the stability of the software.
Apple is facing a delay in the launch of its upcoming Apple Intelligence artificial intelligence (AI) suite, with the release now expected for later than originally planned. According to Bloomberg News, Apple had initially intended to launch Apple Intelligence alongside the new iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 software updates in September. However, the company has reportedly decided to push back the rollout of Apple Intelligence to October, releasing it as part of a batch of software updates.
The delay is reportedly due to concerns about the stability of the Apple Intelligence features. The software reportedly includes features that generate text, images, and other content using generative AI, as well as prioritizing notifications, offering an updated Siri, and providing AI-powered tools for summarizing content. Apple is expected to make Apple Intelligence available to software developers as early as this week, giving them the opportunity to test the software on the beta versions of iOS and iPadOS 18.1.

The release of Apple Intelligence is a significant event for Apple, as it represents the company's entry into the field of generative AI. The software is expected to be available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac devices with the company's M1 chip and later versions.
Apple Intelligence is one of several AI-powered features that Apple announced at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. The company also unveiled plans for a new AI-powered security feature called LockDown Mode, which is designed to protect users from targeted cyberattacks.

Apple has been cautious about integrating AI into its products, but the company is now making significant investments in the field. The launch of Apple Intelligence is a sign that Apple believes AI can play a major role in the future of its products.
The delay in the release of Apple Intelligence may give Apple additional time to address any stability concerns and ensure that the software is ready for launch. The company has not yet officially announced the new release date for Apple Intelligence, but the software is expected to be available in late 2024 or early 2025.
