The unveiling of Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.1 offered a glimpse into the future, albeit with several features missing. With the introduction of iOS 18.2, many of these anticipated functionalities are now included—such as Visual Intelligence, image generation capabilities, and integration with ChatGPT among others. Additionally, for those who either own older iPhone models or prefer non-AI enhancements, the latest iOS/iPadOS 18.2 update brings numerous beneficial changes unrelated to artificial intelligence.
It’s worth noting that while Siri’s interface witnessed modifications in iOS 18.1, the advanced version of Siri—an integral feature of Apple Intelligence—is still absent from this update but is expected to debut in either iOS 18.3 slated for January or the March release of iOS 18.4. For further details on imminent features related to Apple Intelligence, refer to our dedicated article.
On Wednesday morning, Apple confirmed that users can expect the rollout of iOS 18.2 today at around 10 AM PT; however, it might be available at any moment before that.
Update (December 11): The official release of ios12 has commenced alongside updates for various other operating systems including macOS and watchOS.
iOS 18.2: Enhanced Features Empowering Apple Intelligence
The innovative functionalities emerging from Apple Intelligence in this iteration apply exclusively to six devices: all versions within the iPhone 16 range along with both the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models. Users whose devices support these features will also find themselves placed on a secondary waiting list for some capabilities not yet available if they were previously enrolled in an initial waiting list during last year’s updates.
The Key Innovations Featuring Into Apple Intelligence:
- Writing Tools:This tool offers users more freedom than simply selecting text transformations such as professional or casual styles; instead you can now specify your preferences freely—for instance asking it to craft something poetic filled with dad jokes or infused with sarcasm.
- Genmoji:Create personalized emojis directly through your keyboard interface.
- Image Playground:This function allows you to make images using descriptive prompts tailored by context from Messages threads or Notes app entries—ranging from costumes and environments based on individuals recognized in your Photos library and presented primarily through cartoon-like aesthetics rather than photorealism.
- Visual Intelligence:If you’re utilizing an iPhone16 model paired with Camera Control access button functionality—you can receive contextual information about locations by simply targeting them with your camera lens while also translating signs and pulling specific phone numbers into your Contacts quickly.
Perks include seeking insights via ChatGPT regarding visible content onscreen plus conducting Google image searches effortlessly! - Image Wand:A specialized extension born from Image Playground allowing image creation right onto a blank section within notes based off contextual cues nearby—inclusive needs like basic sketches created beforehand!
- ChatGPT Integration:Siri has gained enhanced powers enabling requests directed toward ChatGPT when needed; user permission is required each time request made—but usernames aren’t mandatory unless benefits included under login desires exist! Similarly natural language processing assists composing tasks securely thus maintaining privacy throughout communications undertaken by users regardless if premium services desired too!
