Apple's plan to release iOS 18.1 and Apple Intelligence features is reportedly scheduled on October 28. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, this will mark the first appearance of the in-house AI features.

OS 18.1 update will bring the first set of Apple Intelligence features to iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
