I found plenty of good reasons to install the iOS 18 right away that have nothing to do with Apple Intelligence. But there's no question that Apple Intelligence is the most important feature in iOS 18. It's one of the biggest developments in iPhone history.
I would have installed iOS 18.1 beta 1 a few days ago just to start testing the first Apple Intelligence features baked into the iPhone software. However, my iPhone 14 Pro doesn't support Apple AI. Even if it did, Apple Intelligence isn't available in Europe on any Apple device, not just the iPhone. Therefore, I couldn't possibly pivot to iOS 18.1.
I expected as much as Apple confirmed a few weeks ago that it's withholding the release of Apple Intelligence in the region due to local regulations. Apple must have referred to the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The new legislation forced the company to overhaul the iPhone software experience for the region in ways it wouldn't have considered without regulatory pressure.
But I don't want the third-party app stores or payment systems that the DMA provides. All I want is to enjoy Apple's software without roadblocks from governing bodies. In this case, I'm dying to try Apple Intelligence once I upgrade to the iPhone 16. While I have no idea when it'll happen, I know at least that Apple is working with the EU to bring Apple Intelligence to supported devices in the region.
