Why is the Apple Intelligence not included on my iPhone 16?

If you’re in eu. Not going to get it. For awhile.

Keep an eye on this web site:

Apple Intelligence Preview - Apple

It will be released when it is done. Not even sure if Tim Cook would know that date since betas are still being released which tells you there is still bug testing being done.

It shouldn't take a week to prepare Apple Intelligence. I'd reach out to Apple as you can't be disappointed with features you still don't have. If you're in the US, call Apple at: 800-MY-APPLE

My iPhone 16 pro has it turned on and its still not working,

If you see the option in Settings for Apple Intelligence & Siri and have it turned on, then you have it. It may take a moment to download a few things though.

To verify you can ask Siri a question and if it lights up the phone with a pinkish glow around the sides then you have it and its working.

Otherwise, explain exactly what is not working.

I reside in Ireland and, like many others, was enticed by the enticing promises made by Apple. I waited patiently, especially after reading in December that Apple AI would be launching, but nothing materialized. When I reached out to Apple support, they informed me that, yes, English language support had indeed been extended to Ireland. However, I couldn't help but wonder what advantages this brings to my iPhone that I didn't already have.

If you're in the Republic of Ireland, and therefore in the EU, you cannot, at this time, access Apple Intelligence. If you are in Northern Ireland, it should be available.

still no sign of APPLE AI. I will not be falling for this again.

Apple was clear from the beginning that it would only be available in some regions for the time being. However, it seems that lots of people weren't paying attention. Too excited, perhaps.

In April, many of the core features of Apple Intelligence will start to roll out to iPhone and iPad users in the EU.

How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

You have to update the phone

So I’m with Rogers, I’ve got the IPhone 16 pro max. I think I heard the AI will be released near the end of October ? Is that correct ??

No one on this to user only forum knows as we don't work for Apple and Apple hasn't announced a date when AI will be released.

Hello again ~ I wouldn’t consider asking you to have a bit of patience to be a lecture. I am however quite the expert in giving lectures…so if you would like one I can certainly help you out in that regard. Return or sell your iPhone if it doesn’t suit your needs. You have a great day yourself.

Every commercial on TV is broadcasting the 16 model with Apple Intelligence. I understand Apple is not advertising it on their website that it’s available yet but people don’t necessarily buy their phones by reading the fine print on the Apple website. They are buying their phones through social media and television commercials that are promoting the phone with this feature and it is not available yet so it’s frustrating.

You have just a few more days and your frustration will likely be removed. It's been widely reported Apple Intelligence is coming in just a few days, which will make this entire discussion and the horror people have seemingly had to endure over.

It's on their commercials too. Here is the Zac commercial:

If you’ve updated to iOS 18.1 then you can follow these directions. I’ve also added screenshots. After updating, you still have to join the waitlist for it to be pushed through to your device.

Go to your settings and from there, scroll down to Siri, and Apple Intelligence.

once selected, there is a blue link to either join waitlist or if you already have, it will say joined waitlist.

it takes about 20 to 45 minutes to receive the update, but you’ll have the opportunity to have Apple Intelligence. Finally, it’s here! Once you receive Apple Intelligence, you will have the message I’ve screenshot below. I’m about to follow my props. I’ll follow up with an update on another thread.

Gee thanks for reposting an existing article. It’s been turned on since I’ve purchased it. Turned the device on/off. Hard reset. Check software, left it pre much a full day and half night on charge and connect to WiFi for the additional download. I have done troubleshooting with Apple support. The old Siri shows only still and no intelligence features

what is it that you’re looking for when you’re typing a message or something highlight whatever text you want to highlight you have the option for text effects and you have the option to use writing tools. Now, if you’re trying to send an aggressive message, Apple Intelligence is not prepared to alter those messages just yet. However, if you ask Siri something, your phone should have the Apple Intelligence, Siri feature where the outline of your phone is lit up. Is this not the case in your event?
