Apple Intelligence is currently available in U.S. English only but will expand to support several other languages in the early second quarter of 2025, including several not previously announced.
Apple Intelligence has rolled out for iPhone, iPad, and Mac on Monday with iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1, but the new feature currently only supports U.S. English. The iOS 18.2 beta shows that support will be expanded to English from Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom in December.
However, non-English speaking countries needn't wait too long for their turn with Apple's newest AI-powered features, as they will drop in April 2025. A footnote in Monday's Apple Newsroom announcement reads as follows:
Apple Intelligence is quickly adding support for more languages. In December, Apple Intelligence will be available for localized English in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K., and in April, a software update will deliver expanded language support, with more coming throughout the year. Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese, and other languages will be supported.
Apple Intelligence is finally available to the public as part of Monday's software updates.
Currently, macOS Sequoia boasts a limited amount of new features, including Writing Tools and an improved Siri. Of Apple's Mac lineup, only Apple Silicon devices can use Apple Intelligence.
The iPhone and iPad have also gained Apple Intelligence. Apple Intelligence is limited to iPad models with M1 and later chips and the iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip.
Apple Intelligence is only available to iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 Pro lines.

More evidence that it was never about uncertainly in EU law to begin with, but that Apple simply was not yet far enough along with AI language support. It's taking a few months to get there, which is a fair excuse. It takes a lot of work and engineering time to prepare for regions outside the US market. Kudos to Apple for moving as fast as they have.
At this time, the EU or China (Because of government interference) doesn’t matter get support for the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Norway, Switzerland, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Saudi Arabia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Belize, Jamaica and the Spanish speaking countries aside from Spain (EU).https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/iphone-market-share-by-country All of the countries south of China aside from Indonesia, have large iPhone marketshare many of the countries are over 30% and growing very surprising, so Apple has many other places to serve before China, Russia, India or the EU if they have burr up their a__ about Apple Intelligence.
