The essential purpose of these betas is to introduce earlier versions of Apple Intelligence features. So, at this time, these systems are only available to Apple Intelligence-enabled devices, such as the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPads and Macs with Apple’s M-series chips, and other models are not yet available.

Users participating in the iOS 18 developer beta can manually select the iOS/iPadOS 18.1 channel in System Update or stay in the iOS 18.0 beta.

After the update, I didn’t see the Apple Intelligence feature entry in the system settings, which is completely expected. Apple mentioned in the update note that Apple Intelligence does not currently support users in the EU and China, so it does not have access.

It is understood that Apple Intelligence may limit the regional version of the iPhone. Using the Canadian version or the Hong Kong version of the iPhone, even if the landing is the Chinese Apple ID, you can also see the Apple Intelligence function when you set the language region and Siri English. Apple has launched AI features, including writing tools, a new Siri design, content summarization, email categorization, and intelligent replies.
