Immediately after the release of iOS 18.1, Apple told when to expect the next major system update.
We are talking about iOS 18.2. The company's developers are going to release the software in December 2024. The firmware is currently in beta testing.
With the iOS 18.2 update, Apple will continue to expand the capabilities of Apple Intelligence. For example, the system will receive Image Playground, an application for creating stylized images.
In addition, Apple will also install the Genmoji emoji creation kit, integrate ChatGPT into Siri, add Visual Intelligence, which will be able to identify objects and places around you through the iPhone 16 camera, and much more.
It is also known that in iOS 18.2, Apple Intelligence will receive support for localized English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, and the UK in addition to English in the US.
