Apple gives big hint on iOS 18.1 release date

Mark Gurman, Bloomberg journalist specializing in Apple news, says thatApple Intelligence will arrive on October 28viaiOS 18.1 update. Despite the reliability of the source, we must now wait for the Apple brand to confirm the launch date of the new version of its operating system. You could say she's taking her time. However, the more the month of October progresses, the more the information given by Mark Gurman gains credibility.What if Apple had just spilled the beansthe recent announcement of the iPad mini 7?

iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence would arrive no earlier than October 24

Without warning, Apple unveiled its new iPad mini 7 on October 15. The American manufacturer indicates that the tablet equipped with the A17 Pro chip will be compatible with iOS 18 and will therefore accommodate Apple Intelligence. “The first round of Apple Intelligence features will be available in English this month via the free iPadOS 18.1 software update, and available for iPads with an A17 Pro or M1 or later», We can read on the Apple website.

Knowing that the iPad mini 7 will be available from October 23, it's a safe bet that the Cupertino company wants users to benefit from Apple Intelligence functions as quickly as possible. However, as Apple indicates that AI will not be available on the tablet at launch, but later,This means that iOS 18.1 will arrive on October 24 at the earliest.The date of October 28 put forward by Mark Gurman also seems possible.

Given that the tech giant confirms the absence of Apple Intelligence at the launch of the iPad mini 7,it is certain that iOS 18.1 will not arrive before October 23.Either way, the wait is coming to an end for the American public. Remember that Apple Intelligence will not arrive in France before 2025, probably next springvia iOS 18.4.
