Only if you set your Siri language to "US English", same rules as iPhone/iPad on 18.x.

Apple UK's web page even says "coming in December" https://www.apple.com/uk/apple-intelligence/

the X.2 release will solve this for English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa in December, and then the X.4 release for many many other world languages.

so really, Apple are false advertising, saying that Iphones and Mac have Apple intelligence, when they have not.
It is not just Siri that have to be changed, the language and region of the whole OS have to be changed, and then you are put on a waiting list. I was going to be nosy and then decided not to bother.

11 is tidied up 10, as the way the 10 was the dramatic improvement over Win8

I bet you still have to go all over the place to disable AI in Windows 11, like edge, different software and the Os itself. As I said, with the mac it is just one switch.
Was Windows 10 an improvement over 8?, I have my doubts. Sure the UI was better, but add on a third party start menu and I found that Windows 8 ran a lot better on my then AMD Fx machine than Windows 10. When I got my Ryzen, I tried to keep Windows 7, but Microsoft decided they did not like me using it on the Ryzen.
sound familiar?

The failing software was generally not used by home users, so it didn't impact my family and friends on Mac. Just loads of my corporate colleagues .

I have found a problem with DaVinci resolve, it crashes when I use Fusion, I don't know if this is a Sequoia problem or something went weird when I updated. I will uninstall DaVinci resolve and reinstall and see if that helps.

I use Nord and that is okay, well as okay as normal. Will be changing it next year when my subscription is up

If you read the US websites you get the wrong impression.

Even the adverts in the UK is with Apple Intelligence. Sure one yesterday while watching something on ITVX and I did not see anything about it being available in December.

It is coming to UK English phones in December, but for phones in the UK set to US English it is already available.

Sure one yesterday while watching something on ITVX and I did not see anything about it being available in December.

The ads I have seen (mianly EE) have very clearly, but briefly, had that included,

This is a ridiculous “debate” 😂 It’s splashed across Apple UK front page for every single new product….

Carry on. You make me giggle.

Fair enough, I did not see it. I will look closer next time if I see it again. Not that I have any interest in using it, but i do wonder how many did not see the arriving in December and then when they get their new Mac/iphone find that Ai is not available.,

Apple UK aren't exactly hiding the fact...at least not on the home page of their UK website. They've labelled it on every device:

iPhone and iPhone Pro

iPad and Mac

Those with appropriate hardware, can switch the Siri voice language to English US since iOS 18.1, or macOS 15.1 and ONLY the Siri system voice switches language, and it works. The start of improved Siri may be the reason to use it (on a phone/watch).

Many of my customers with Mac laptops are using the ChatGPT app and subscribe to ChatGPT, so wonder if they will try Apple Intelligence.
