Apples AI Rollout Could Extend Beyond Fall, Much-Anticipated ChatGPT Integration May Not Come Until 2025,

　　Apple Inc.sAAPL new artificial intelligence offerings, unveiled last week, are set to roll out gradually, with some features not expected until 2025.

　　What Happened: In his latest weekly “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurmansaid that the Apple Intelligence service will be available for developers later this summer, but it wont be part of the initial beta releases of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.

　　The software will launch as a preview in the fall, working only on a subset of Apples devices and only in American English.

　　“The keynote presentation at last week's Worldwide Developers Conference also didn't reflect the exact features that will be arriving in the fall. Instead, Apple essentially gave a road map of what's coming in late 2024 and the first half of 2025,” Gurman said.

　　The initial version of Apple Intelligence will be packed with features, including AI to prioritize notifications, summarize webpages, voice memos, meeting notes, and emails, new writing tools, image generation, and custom AI-spawned emoji called Genmoji.

　　However, many of the AI features won‘t be ready in time for the new version of iOS, which typically releases publicly in September, said Gurman. Employees involved in Apple Intelligence’s development have indicated that a subset of the service wont launch until next year.

　　Major enhancements to Apples digital assistant, Siri, including the ability to find things on your devices based on context and take action, semantic indexing, precise control of your device and applications, and on-screen awareness, are likely not coming until 2025.

　　Apple Intelligence‘s support for additional languages and regions, as well as the much-discussed integration with ChatGPT, also won’t arrive until 2025.

　　Why It Matters: Not all iPhone users will be able to access the new AI features, as they require the A17 Prochip. Currently, the A17 Pro chip is exclusive to the iPhone 15 Proand iPhone 15 Pro Max, whereas the more affordable iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pluscontinue to use the older A16 Bionicchip.

　　Moreover, the AI initiative will initially appear to be limited to iPhone, iPad, and Mac models equipped with the M1chip or later, excluding Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Vision Pro users at launch.

　　It was previously reported that Apple is looking to establish more chatbot partnerships, with potential partners including Alphabet Inc.s Googleand Anthropic in the U.S., and Baidu Inc.and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. in China.
