iPhones Won't Get These iOS 18 Features Until iOS 18.1 or Later

 iPhones Won't Get These iOS 18 Features Until iOS 18.1 or Later

Many new features have been included to iOS 18, albeit not all of them will be available when the upgrade is first made available in September.

According to Apple's website, we have enumerated every feature that will be exclusive to a later release of iOS 18 below. With iOS 18.2 in December and iOS 18.1 in October, the features should start to spread out. More will follow in the upcoming year.
Mail Sorting

Four new categories driven by on-device intelligence will be added to the Mail app in an iOS 18 update that will be released later this year.

First: Sensitive and private emails

 

In an update to iOS 18 coming later this year, the Mail app will gain four new categories powered by on-device intelligence:

• Primary: Personal and time-sensitive emails
• Transactions: Receipts and confirmation emails
• Updates: News and social media notifications
• Promotions: Marketing emails and coupons

These categories will be available on devices set to English, and All Mail will remain an option.

The app will also be getting a new digest view that shows emails from a single business, such as various emails from United Airlines ahead of a flight. 

Transactions: Email confirmations and receipts

A subset of Apple Intelligence features will be available on iPhone 15 Pro models and newer when iOS 18 is publicly released in September, but only with the device language set to U.S. English. The features will have a "preview" label initially.

On its Apple Intelligence page, Apple says "Some features, additional languages, and platforms will be coming over the next year," but the company has not shared specific details. In his Power On newsletter last weekend, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said some Siri features powered by Apple Intelligence are unlikely to launch until 2025, including personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls. He also said Apple Intelligence will not support additional languages or regions until next year.

Gurman does expect Siri's redesign and more natural voice on the initial release of iOS 18, along with Apple Intelligence features that can improve your writing, prioritize notifications, summarize messages, generate custom emojis, and more.

 

Updates: Notifications from social media and news

 Robot vacuum support in the Home app is coming an update to iOS 18 later this year, allowing you to ask Siri to clean your floors and so forth.

Apple says the Home app will support the "core functionality" of robot vacuum cleaners, such as vacuuming, mopping, power control, cleaning mode, and charge status. Robot vacuums will also work with automation and scenes in the app.
