    A headphone jack on the front!

    If you want to try Apple Intelligence, you’ll have to get on a waitlist.

    To join the waitlist after you’ve updated to iOS 18.1, go to Settings, then “Apple Intelligence & Siri,” and then tap the “Join the Apple Intelligence Waitlist” option.

    Apple says that Apple Intelligence is “usually available for activation within a few hours of joining the waitlist.”
