According to Apple's official announcement.
The Phone app helps users stay organized with the ability to record and transcribe live calls, making it easier to recall important details later.3 Call participants are notified before a recording begins, and transcripts are conveniently saved to the Notes app, allowing users to quickly search and review what was discussed.
In the footnotes it says: Call recording and transcription will be available later this year. Transcription will be available in English (U.S., Australia), Spanish (U.S., Mexico), Mandarin Chinese (China mainland), Cantonese (Hong Kong), and Korean (South Korea).

That is incorrect. Most, not all, states are a one party state meaning as long as one side knows and consents it’s perfectly legal.
There are MANY places where recording phone calls is perfectly legal.

I think this is definitely "technical" enough to make this information no longer confidential, and we should be able to freely discuss it here.
That is not technical at all. Once technical information has been provided, you will see the companion Support Article for the feature, such as this one here:
Record the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Notice on the bottom of that page there is a link to Contact Apple Support if you are having any trouble. That is also not possible with beta software and why the technical information has not been provided. Beta software changes all the time and the screenshots that were previewed months ago may not even be in the final release, which is why they did not release any technical details then.
Anyways it makes no difference if you agree with me or not. You have found out that it is not your decision and for that matter it is not mine either.

It really doesn't matter as the feature has not yet been released. Anywhere.
You are completely right, but also wrong. Europe for example being a big coverage area it is NOT illegal to record calls so long as both parties are involved. Please do not spread false information. If you’d like me to get the legal jargon on that then fine. The feature is now available as of 28/10/24.

In Sweden, which is part of Europe 😃, it is legal if one of the parties consent.
The call recording feature on the iPhone will alert the other party. For specific rules about single party consent on recorded calls, your local government will be the best resource.
For those looking for the rules regarding beta software, refer to the confidential agreement that pertains to the beta:
Yes, the beta software is Apple confidential information. Don’t install the beta software on any systems you don’t directly control or that you share with others. Don’t blog, post screenshots, tweet, or publicly post information about the beta software, and don’t discuss the beta software with or demonstrate it to others who are not in the Apple Beta Software Program. If Apple has publicly disclosed technical information about the beta software, it is no longer considered confidential.
Apple has not publicly disclosed technical information about the features. All they have released is an overview of the features, which is why some users are met with the standard response that it has not been released yet when wanting to ask how something is going to work or want to discuss the features.

the warning isn’t included in the recording, so if you do use it for legal issues in a state that requires both parties notice then how will you prove you notified the person if the recording doesn’t have the warning at the start of they call, can’t the other person just lie and say to a judge that he never heard a warning and that it was recorded without his or her knowledge, so what apple is doing is useless. Also warning someone that the phone is recording them is deafening the purpose of recording someone cause if you wanted to catch someone talking about a crime they did or catch them threatening you or whatever thats illegal, as soon as they hear that warning they hanging up on you, it basically makes call recording useless because no one will stay on a line as long as they know they being recorded.

If you're recording a call in a two-party consent state and you're concerned that the automated notification isn't enough, you could always just tell the other party that the call is being recorded yourself. I kind of agree that it's strange that the automated notification is not included in the recording, but unless Apple changes the feature, that's just how it works. And if you did try to introduce a recording in court in a two-party jurisdiction, you could provide evidence of of how the feature works, which the judge could accept, even if the other party claims they didn't hear the notification.
If you're trying to secretly record a call, this feature is not designed to do that. However, that does not make it "useless". There are many other situations where someone would want to record a call: for example, a reporter who is conducing an interview.

Just tried it on my XS, iOS 18.1, in Sweden.
No record button or anything for transcript.
Is it not available on all devices or in all locations?
The feature is NOT yet available in the EU. See this --> Record and transcribe a call on iPhone - Apple Support

You'll need to wait until Apple makes it available.
Yes. It's due to your region. That feature is not available there at this time.
