iOS 18.4: Major Updates and Features
With the arrival of iOS 18.4, Apple is set to deliver a remarkable upgrade. The standout characteristic of this version is Apple Intelligence, which incorporates several innovative AI functionalities that have been gradually introduced over time. Following the absence of significant AI enhancements in the previous iOS 18.3, Apple plans to expand its offerings across additional countries with the release of iOS 18.4, including support for the new Vision Pro device.
Siri Update Delayed
The long-awaited enhancements to Siri will not be part of this update. Although upcoming improvements include personal context awareness, app intentions, and screen reading capabilities, these are notably absent from the initial beta version of iOS 18.4. Apple has indicated that more features for Apple Intelligence will roll out in future updates—likely postponing major Siri advancements until iOS 18.5.
The beta for iOS 18.4 officially started on February 21st and we anticipate that it will reach full availability by early April.
