My iPhone 16 Pro won’t let me join the Apple Intelligence waitlist

There is NO waitlist and if your iPhone is up to date, you likely don't have iOS 18.1. You have iOS 18.0.1. iOS 18.1 has NOT been released yet.

Sorry, but we cannot discuss issues with any beta release in these forums (iOS 18.1 has not been released yet). You'll need to wait until either you can join the waitlist or until 18.1 is publicly released.

Regards.
