I meet all the criteria for hardware, updated to 15.1, yet none of the features touted in the Apple press releases and instructions show up on my computer. Siri is enabled, US English is the language, but nothing shows up in System Settings for Apple Intelligence. This is not encouraging.
Mac Studio, macOS 15.1

Hi I was facing the same issue. Upgraded my MacBookPro 16" 2021 M1 Pro. Here below is what I did which enabled Apple Intelligence on my MacBookPro Successfully.
Apple Menu > System Settings > General > Language & Region
Under the Preferred Languages, Ensure you have added : English ( US ) as Primary.
If not click on the + and add English ( US ) and make it to the top of the list as Primary.
And then click on Apple Intelligence in the System Settings Side bar.
on the right hand side of the System Settings You will see a button Join the Apple Intelligence waitlist. Click on it and confirm to join.
It will start preparing and then in the next few minutes ( it took about 15 minutes for me to) you will see a switch next to Apple Intelligence. Turn it on.
I hope this helps
Yes - region is correct. But shortly after I wrote that post, I got a notification asking if I wanted to turn on Apple Intelligence! Apparently it does not install immediately, but has (in my case) about a 4 or 5 hour delay. That is really weird. None of their online documentation discusses this delay. But I guess you just have to wait for some period. Maybe it is building some model from the data on each individual computer
Hi all! I had the same problem with the MacBook Pro M1 2020, but the problem was solved when I switched the Apple Intelligence & Siri language from German to English (any, UK or US), see attached screen:
In which country or region was this Mac was purchased?
In which country or region is this Mac located?
Which country or region is associated with this Apple Account?
From the previously-linked:
Apple Intelligence is not presently available for devices purchased in China mainland.
Is your region also set to United States? The Siri entry in Settings should change to Apple Intelligence & Siri, and from there you can enable Apple Intelligence. I did notice that a text search in Settings for Apple Intelligence doesn't do anything useful.

You need to change Region to US for the Apple account too. Then go to App Store and re-download MacOS with Apple Intelligence. I noticed that MacOS Sequoia 15.1 with Apple Intelligence has different colored icon.
It is strange but we have to create a fake account to get it to work.
on my Mac on EU, it is working but on the iPhone, it is not.
so I have to use a fake US account to make it work but then I cannot download some basic apps which available only for the EU...
I don't understand why Apple making this mess for us :(
It's a new experience for me as an Apple user and I didn't get the basic things that Apple promised to have on my new iPhone 16 pro max.
so it is a big disappointment.

Im in the same situation, new mac mini m4 but the ai option is not listed.
Changed the region and updated to 15.3 but nothing yet.
Any clue?
Here are the requirements: How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support
Do you meet all of those requirements, for wherever located and however configured?
Same here. On Mac OS 15.2 since 27 October - Mac mini M2 - Region Set to US, Siri language set to English US. I am in Australia.
Set language and region back to Australia, restarted, set back to US, restarted, waited a few days, but Siri is still just Siri.
Wondering if I am missing something here? or is my location (Australia) currently not supported even though I set the region to US.

I have a problem with my face ID
Your Face ID is likely broken, and (if so) you will have to get your iPhone repaired.
You can try the following sequence:
If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support
If (when?) that sequence fails to resolve the Face ID problem, contact Apple Support:
Here is how to contact: Official Apple Support
I encountered a similar issue. I believe I accessed Siri’s settings or another relevant option, enabling me to request an invitation. Subsequently, it appears that the request was partially successful, as it indicates that Apple Intelligence is enabled. However, I am only receiving email summaries for a select number of emails, not all of them which is highly unusual.
Apple wasn't up front about Apple Intelligence only being available for Apple Silicon devices. Had I done a little more research, I wouldn't have updated to Sequoia at all because of the negative impact on my Network stability.
