The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are coming in two months, which means it’s not the best time to buy a new iPhone 15. Unless you’re in absolute need of a new iPhone right now, it’s wise to wait until September for either the iPhone 16 or for other iPhones to get cheaper.

Apple’s plan to roll out artificial intelligence features in its September software update is reportedly delayed. The company announced Apple Intelligence, a suite of AI-powered features for apps including its voice-assistant Siri and Safari, at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. Apple was planning to integrate Apple Intelligence into its devices through the iPhone iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 releases in September, but is now pushing the roll out back to October, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. However, Apple is reportedly allowing software developers to test Apple Intelligence for stability and bugs through beta versions of iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 as soon as this week.

Every year, we live through an exciting period wherein Apple drops beta builds for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. These developer and public beta versions include pre-release features and UI updates. The nature of beta software, obviously, brings with it a couple of bugs and stability issues — which are ironed out by the time iOS sees its public release with the launch of new iPhones. iOS 18 is perhaps one of the biggest updates to the mobile operating system since the departure from the skeuomorphic design that Apple's iPhones were once popular for.

iOS 18.1 Developer Beta Released With Support For Apple Intelligence

Let's hope Apple is a little better at this than Samsung's been. Apple could finally be ready to move away from Qualcomm 5G modems, beginning with the iPhone SE 4. The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max would likely all stick with Qualcomm 5G, at least for this generation.

Typically, Apple would start testing the x.1 version of a new iOS release right after the main release.

Then, iOS 18.1 would be released in October, and 18.2 beta testing would begin, and so on.
