Apple has already started to create a comprehensive audience for AI models integrated with iOS 18.3 and Macos 15.3: With these operating system versions, Apple Intellure is automatically active, Apple is opt-in opt- The out process has changed. So users have to close it themselves. However, at least .3 versions seemed clinging to the attitude placed: if Apple Intelligent was already closed, it also failed with iOS / iPados 18.3 and Macos 15.3.
Apple Intelligence will soon be available in German
In the European Union, Apple Intelligence is still available only on English and Mac. On iPhones and iPads, tasks in Germany, such as members of the European Union, can be activated by a workaround using a non-European Union account.
Apple intelligence also begins within the European Union in April – as well as in German, perhaps with iOS 18.4 and Macos 15.4. AI should also be activated there by default.
