Apple Intelligence is coming to EU iPhones and iPads in April

People in the European Union finally know when Apple Intelligence will be available on their mobile devices. Apple told EU users on Monday that its AI suite will be available in April 2025. The first Apple Intelligence features, including writing tools and AI notification summaries, are now available elsewhere for English speakers.

Apple announced the EU release date in a press release for the European Union (via 9to5Mac). Translated from Italian, the news post says: “Apple Intelligence features will be rolled out to iPhone and iPad users in the EU in April.”

The article notes that the first wave of Apple Intelligence is already available for EU users in macOS Sequoia 15.1. That’s because Apple used the Digital Markets Act (DMA) as justification for delaying its EU AI. In this case, the regulations only affect iPhone and iPad software, not macOS.

On Monday, Apple also confirmed that its AI suite will be available in additional languages ​​in April. These include Chinese, Korean, French, Japanese, English (India), English (Singapore), Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Vietnamese. In December, Apple Intelligence will be available in English for Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Apple Intelligence is being rolled out gradually. Today’s first batch in iOS 18.1 (for those outside the EU) includes writing tools, live transcriptions, notification summaries, and more. iOS 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2 bring additional features such as ChatGPT integration, Genmoji, Visual Intelligence and Image Playground. This software is currently in beta and is expected to have an official release in December.

The only catch is that you need a compatible device. On iPhone, this is limited to the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 16 series. iPads, M-series Macs and the new seventh-generation iPad mini are also supported.
