Apple Intelligence hacks: How to get Apple Intelligence on iPhone, iPad, Mac

Apple Intelligence update: Apple will start rolling out Apple Intelligence to all supported iPhone , iPad and Mac models with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 update next month. Initially, Apple Intelligence will be available in the US English only. However, the company has promised to roll out support for localised English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK in December 2024, with support for Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Vietnamese arriving in 2025.

That said, Apple Intelligence will not be available as any other feature on iOS when the update rolls out next month. Instead, eligible device owners will have to join a wait list in order to be able to access Apple Intelligence-powered features on their iPhones, iPads and Macs. Apple says Apple Intelligence is estimated to be available for activation within a few hours of joining the wait list. However, users may have to wait a little longer based on the number of requests the company receives.
