Apple is gearing up for another significant update; this time, it’s bringing something big for Indian users. The tech giant has confirmed that its Apple Intelligence suite will finally make its way to India in April, thanks to the upcoming iOS 18.4 update. A beta version has already been released, giving developers an early look at what’s in store.
The announcement comes just days after Apple introduced the budget-friendly iPhone 16E. While the new iPhone has drawn attention, the real excitement is around iOS 18.4, which promises a more innovative, personalized experience powered by Apple Intelligence. Let’s take a look at what’s changing.
Apple expands AI-language support
In a recent blog post, Apple shared that its AI-powered Apple Intelligence will now support more languages, making it accessible to a broader audience. The update will add support for French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese. Additionally, Apple is introducing localized English versions tailored for users in India and Singapore.
This language expansion is part of iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4, all of which are set to launch in April. Developers can start testing these features through the beta version, giving a sneak peek into what’s coming next.
New features coming with iOS 18.4
The iOS 18.4 beta version has already introduced some exciting new features, the most notable being Priority Notifications. This AI-powered tool is designed to help users manage their alerts more efficiently by highlighting the most important ones, ensuring that nothing crucial gets lost in the clutter.
Beyond notifications, the update improves Apple Intelligence, aiming to make interactions with Apple devices more innovative and seamless. Users can expect a more intuitive and personalized experience across their devices with support for additional languages and enhanced AI-driven capabilities.
Apple Intelligence expands globally
Another significant change with iOS 18.4 is that Apple Intelligence will now be available to iPhone and iPad users in the European Union for the first time. The AI features will also be integrated into the Apple Vision Pro headset, though initially only in US English.
Apple has also doubled down on privacy with this rollout. The company reassured users that Apple Intelligence will primarily run on-device, ensuring that personal data remains secure. Apple relies on its Private Cloud computing system for tasks requiring more complex AI processing, which extends iPhone-level security to cloud-based operations.
With iOS 18.4 set for an April release, Apple users in India and beyond can look forward to a more intelligent, intuitive, and secure experience. And with more updates on the way, this is just the beginning of what Apple Intelligence has to offer.
