Apple releases iOS 18.1 public beta with Apple Intelligence. Here’s how you can experience it

Apple launched the iPhone 16 series globally on September 9 at its “It’s Glowtime” event, and with the arrival of the iPhone 16 series, people were eagerly awaiting the stable version of iOS 18 as they are built for Apple Intelligence. Unfortunately, these devices do not come with Apple AI out of the box. Apple Intelligence is expected to be implemented later via a software update, but if you want to experience it now, there is a way to do so. No, we are not talking about a buggy developer preview.

Apple has released the public beta of iOS 18 with Apple Intelligence, and users can install it on iPhones that will run it. Typically, the public beta is considered a more stable version compared to the developer beta, although it may contain some bugs or glitches. However, it tends to be much closer to the final stable version that can be expected in the coming weeks.
