Apple Intelligence Features Coming to iPhones, iPads, and Macs in 2025

Apple has started rolling out the developer beta for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, introducing the much-anticipated Apple Intelligence features set to launch later this year.

🧠 What is Apple Intelligence?

At WWDC 2025, Apple introduced Apple Intelligence — a powerful suite of on-device AI tools designed to enhance user experience across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. These features leverage on-device machine learning and context-aware AI, offering more private, efficient, and creative capabilities.

The first wave of Apple Intelligence features is currently available in the latest developer beta of iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26. A public beta is expected to be released next month.
