Apple Intelligence is just a little simpler to check out if you happen to’re not within the U.S. Sadly, customers within the European Union and China are nonetheless absolutely excluded.
As seen by 9to5Mac, the most recent developer beta of iOS (iOS 18.1 Beta 3) not requires the person to set the system area to the U.S. The one factor that’s required is for the person to set system language and Siri language to the U.S. English language.
This doesn’t imply that AI options can be found in languages apart from U.S. English; they are not. It is just a bit simpler for customers outdoors of the U.S. to check the brand new options out, with out having to set system area to the U.S. and thus change their clock, calendar, and different settings.
Mashable Gentle Pace
Apple’s personal launch notes for iOS 18.1 Beta 3 mirror this. “To try the Apple Intelligence beta, join the waitlist in Settings and you will be notified as soon as it is ready for your device. Both device language and Siri language must be set to U.S. English,” the notes say.
NOPE.

Being in Europe, I used to be enthusiastic about this variation. Sadly, the discharge notes additionally state that “Apple Intelligence is not currently available in the EU or China.” I’ve upgraded to the most recent developer beta and examined this out; certain sufficient, Apple Intelligence continues to be unavailable to me.
That is hardly shocking given Europe’s just lately launched guidelines for synthetic intelligence, which prompted Apple to delay AI options within the EU.
There’s a solution to override this and check Apple Intelligence options in Europe, but it surely requires the person to set the system area to U.S. (along with the settings talked about above). The true dealbreaker is that you just additionally should set your Apple ID nation to the U.S., and to try this, you must undergo a lot of (usually painfully annoying) steps which embrace canceling subscriptions that block a rustic/area change and await subscriptions to run out, and re-download all of your apps, music, motion pictures, and TV reveals. And even if you happen to do all that, it nonetheless won’t work until you employ a VPN (and even then you may get blended outcomes). In different phrases, for the overwhelming majority of customers, it isn’t value making an attempt.
