Apple Intelligence brings incredible new features across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
I am using a MacBook Pro with an M2 processor. The region is set to the United States, the language is English (U.S.), and the Siri language is also English (U.S.). Despite this, the Apple Intelligence feature did not arrive with the new update. What could be the reason for this?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.0
I am using a MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro from 2021. I updated this morning The region is set to the United States, the language is English (U.S.), and the Siri language is also English (U.S.). Despite this, the Apple Intelligence feature did not appear.
It worked for both my Ipad and iPhone but not the Mac. What could be the reason for this?
All I can tell you is there were a number of contributors here on ASC that updated to 18.1, signed into the wait list and received the download. I don't have an iPhone that supports AI so I can't personally check. Are you in the U.S.? I believe someone in Canada has not received the AI update.

Just so you know, there are more features that are still coming out. For a refresher they announced Apple Intelligence on June 10 with just some of its features coming out this fall and restricted to English language at first. You can review what they announced on June 10 and also view the WWDC video for review:
Introducing Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple
OS 18.1 has launched now with some of those features as expected and for more information , here is the preview with the following notes and you will see some are in the coming months and some are next year:
OS 18.2 is currently in beta where additional features are being tested:
If you watched the video linked previously where they launched Apple Intelligence, it makes it clear that it will be a gradual roll out with some features first becoming available this fall and others with later updates. This is straight from Apple, so if you got different information from another source, then that could explain the difference in your expectations.
Just a guess…
"For China residents: Apple Intelligence will not currently work for supported devices purchased in China mainland."
From the link I posted above.
You can always contact Apple Support directly.
Thank you. I hadn’t realized it was version 15.1; I thought this feature would be included in this update.
You're welcome.

Sounds like your Mac was intended for China distribution so that is the expected behavior. Makes no difference the Region/Language on those devices. With the appropriate Mac and Language/Region, you will have the option a shown here:

Did anyone ever answer this question? I have read the comments but see no answer to the question. I have updated my M2 Macbook pro and M2 Mac Air, but there is no option for Apple Intelligence or an option to get on the waitlist. Please help me understand what I need to do to get this feature.
FWIW, Apple hasn't announced the exact date but, they have said iOS 18.1 will be released next week. Oct 28th perhaps.
Although It can be utilised on other compatible Apple devices.
Both of which I have done... with an M3 chip.... fully updated... No evidence of any AI anywhere??

Apple's got a lot of answers to give.
