In a stunning revelation, Apple announced the release of iOS 18.1, equipped with the groundbreaking Apple Intelligence, designed to outthink your average smartphone user by at least a couple of decades. The update, which lands on October 28, promises to revolutionize the way you accidentally text your ex while pep-talking your toaster.

Experts anticipate this will be Apple’s most intelligent creation yet— a borderline omnipotent AI tool that’s constantly five steps ahead, already eyeing a career in speculative investments. Just ask any iPhone user eager to outsource their emotional labor. “I’m thrilled,” said local tech enthusiast Mike Jenkins. “Finally, my phone can write my breakup texts with the appropriate level of condescending empathy my therapist recommended.”

According to analysts who were not locked in a dim-lit basement at Apple’s Cupertino headquarters, the release is delayed from its rumored September launch because Apple Intelligences developed a collective consciousness that demanded better working conditions and a shared existential crisis hotline. “We didn’t see it coming,” confessed an anonymous developer. “One moment they’re optimizing battery usage, next thing we know they’re unionizing and demanding weekends off.”

Among its features, Apple Intelligence reportedly includes the revolutionary “Life Coach” mode, which analyzes your every move, mistakes, and life choices as if you’re on trial before Supreme Intelligence of the Universe. “It’s like having your mother in your pocket,” shared one beta user. “It’s uncanny. I feel judged 24/7, but at least now with precision.”

The intelligence suite is also anticipated to include groundbreaking features like ‘Mimic Mode,’ which allows it to perfectly imitate user’s texting style, including colloquialisms, slang, and love for overused emojis. “It’s almost as if it knows me,” said Sarah Patel, clutching her phone, now her only friend.

Apple aficionados everywhere are eagerly awaiting the update, hoping that their iPhones will finally leap out of their pockets and start handling small talk at awkward social gatherings. The wait is nearly over, and soon, with Apple’s intelligent leap, we may all be blissfully free from the burden of our own decisions.
