In a surprising move ahead of the final iOS 18 release, Apple has rolled out the iOS 18.1 developer beta, granting developers early access to its much-anticipated AI features. As previously reported, Apple Intelligence won't be making its debut alongside the iPhone 16 and iOS 18 but will arrive slightly later.

To get a taste of Apple Intelligence, users can join the waitlist through Settings. Once enrolled, they'll gain access to select AI features, with wait times reportedly shorter than a few hours.

The AI capabilities included in this beta are impressive, featuring advanced Writing Tools, a revamped Siri (though not with its full potential), the ability to generate summaries of transcripts and other content, new categorization options in Mail, and intelligent email and text message replies.
