New Apple iOS 18.2 Features For Release

 
     
  New Apple iOS 18.2 Features For Release  
     
 

Apple has set high expectations for iOS 18, but many of the promised features haven’t shown up yet in the current iOS 18.0 and 18.1 betas.

 

The release date is expected to be sometime in December of 2024.


Historically, Apple’s x.2 iOS updates drop in December, so any features missing from iOS 18 and 18.1 will probably make their way into this final 2024 update.

ChatGPT Integration in Siri

During Apple’s latest earnings call, CEO Tim Cook mentioned that Apple Intelligence features are rolling out in stages. Specifically, he teased that ChatGPT integration with Siri will be available “by the end of the calendar year.” 


Adding to the excitement, Apple is reportedly backing OpenAI’s next funding round, signaling strong confidence in their AI technology.

 


Expanding Apple Intelligence

At the iPhone 16 keynote, Apple announced that Apple Intelligence will  support more English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK.

Previously, this feature was limited to US English, so this expansion is great news for users in these regions.

 

 

Visual Intelligence
iPhone 16’s Visual Intelligence feature offers info on what’s around you—like restaurant hours and reviews when you point the camera at a spot. It can also read text aloud, save contacts, copy text, and summarize content. You can search Google for items you see or get more info from ChatGPT by pointing the camera.

 


Genmoji & Image Playground

Image Playground is Apple’s app for generating images from prompts. You can type in a description of what you want or choose from Apple’s ready-made suggestions and concepts.

 

Apple offers ideas like costumes, locations, items, and more to customize your image, with smart suggestions that even pull inspiration from your Messages or Notes content.

 

 

Writing Tools

Apple’s Writing Tools are getting a boost with open-ended editing options. In iOS 18.1, you can adjust tone to friendly, professional, or simplified. But in iOS 18.2, you can specify changes, like adding action words or even transforming an email into a poem.

 

 

Hearing Health Enhancements for AirPods Pro 2

Apple also teased new hearing health features for AirPods Pro 2 during the iPhone 16 keynote. These include a hearing protection mode that adds passive noise cancellation in loud settings and a “clinical grade” hearing aid with a personalized hearing profile. Currently undergoing FDA certification, these features are expected to launch alongside iOS 18.2 later this year.

 


Revamped Mail App

A redesigned Mail app with a fresh look and better organization is on the horizon, according to Apple’s website. Keep an eye out for this update later this year.

 

 

Image Wand

Image Wand, available in the iPad Notes app, lets you sketch or circle a word with the Apple Pencil to generate a fitting image.

 

 

Added Languages

Local English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, and the UK in addition to U.S. English.
