Developer beta testers are finally able to try out Apple Intelligence on their iPhone and other devices, as part of the first betas of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1.
I want to give it a go but the previous dev beta has wrecked my battery life, even after swapping to the public beta. From the notes though, it doesn’t seem like it’s too much of the exciting stuff.
I just can’t wait for Siri to have a semblance of intelligence.
Public beta and dev beta are often an identical build. Devs just get it first because they’re know how to dig out of a hole if the build is horribly wrong.
I wonder if they’re gonna offload Siri requests to the private compute infrastructure to bring some of the Apple Intelligence features to “older devices” (I’m looking at my memory constrained iPhone14 Pro Max for example).
Agree with the other poster that they won’t. Apple will almost surely constrain AI to their latest flagship’s hardware in some way. They already said AI itself is limited to the 15 Pro.

They won’t 😊✌🏻
Putting aside awful battery life, how do you feel about the new customization features?, specifically, do you like the new control center?
