It was an open secret and Apple already confirmed it last week: a few minutes ago Apple has officially released iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 worldwide. After long months and more than seven beta versions available to developers, the Big Apple has managed to officially release the first version with the first Apple Intelligence features. However, the saddest part of this stage is none other than the fact that many of the new features of this new version are not available in most countries around the world. It is therefore a decaffeinated launch for many users who are waiting for interesting new features for our devices.
Apple officially releases iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1
It will undoubtedly be a successful week for Apple since they are expected big product launches throughout the week. Without a specific keynote for each of them, we expect that every day the Big Apple will present new products, specially oriented towards Macs: a new Mac mini, new MacBook Pros and perhaps new iMacs with the M4 chip, that we met in May of that same year.

But the news of this hour is undoubtedly the official launch of iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 officially then seven long betas. As you know, because we have been talking about it for a long time, this version includes the first functions of the pack of Apple Intelligence like writing tools, audio transcription or advanced search with common language in the Photos app.
In a few minutes we will publish all the news of iOS 18.1, beyond Apple Intelligence, although we have already commented on them in recent weeks. Above all, other news focused on the control center, the internal settings of iCloud or even the opening of the iPhone’s NFC to third-party developers.
Remember that you can install iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 on your iPhone or iPad through the section Software updates from the Settings app or using iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac), making sure to save a previous backup.
