Delay in Apple Intelligence setup on M1 iMac after Sequoia 15.1 update I updated my M1 iMac to Sequoia 15.1 24 hours ago. As soon as the update was installed and the iMac reset I went to Settings to set up Apple Intelligence. I followed the prompt to be on the waitlist. 24 hours later (and at two restarts) Settings>Apple Intelligence & Siri still says "Preparing" and "You'll be notified when Apple Intelligence is available for your Mac". On the other hand, my M1 MacBook Pro updated to 15.1 today and Intelligence was up and running in a few minutes. Has anyone experience this issue? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
