Joe Rossignol, writing for MacRumors:

Apple first updated the page in mid-March to indicate that the personalized Siri features are coming in a future software update.

Apple then removed the “available now” text from the Apple Intelligence page in the U.S. on March 31, according to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

The “available now” text did have an asterisk that led to fine print indicating that some of the Apple Intelligence features would be coming over the course of the next year, but the NAD said this footnote was not “sufficiently clear.”

Good!

The whole marketing behind the series of iPhone 16s was Apple Intelligence. My iPhone 16 Pro Max is easily the best and most capable iPhone I have used, but history will remember this iPhone as the one that failed to deliver on its promise.
