Recently, Apple launched iOS 18.1. Of course, this package does not come without new-fangled AI features with Apple Intelligence. It's the top-selling reason why it has been released in the first place for iPhones and other devices.

However, at present, word has it that the company is likely to be speeding up the delivery schedule on iOS 18.2 and that some even speak about truly exciting features such as ChatGPT appearing in Siri and Image Playground for starters.

iOS 18.2 Update Release Timeline

iOS 18.2 Dropping More Apple Intelligence Features Before 2024

Apple has indicated that the release of iOS 18.2 will take place during December. Reports seen in earlier releases would then suggest the possible release at the end of the second week of December. As MSN writes, Apple Intelligence will, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter, expand to additional locales beyond American English.

In this case, it will be available in the additional locales and reach users in early December at the latest, possibly before then, such as around Dec. 2.

Secondly, Gurman says the significant update to Apple Intelligence would come with the iOS 18.4 update, going live in April 2025. The update shall upgrade Siri's functionality so she can tap into user information and adapt her responses appropriately, depending on specific query queries.

iOS 18.2: New Features Are Worth the Wait

Centered around Apple Intelligence will come exciting features that iOS 18.2 will add to the table. Most notably, this feature list includes Image Playground -an app that makes images by using generative AI off of text inputs.

Using this app, one is able to easily come up with unique images, and the update includes Genmoji: with an app that will generate customizable emojis based on your textual input. It would become possible to share across Apps like Messages, Notes, and Keynote and communicate.

Another interesting feature is that of Image Wand, Gadgets 360 notes. Using a smudgy sketch, it turns a scribble into a vividly detailed image through some describing prompts. That is a great way to add creative spark while streamlining the design process for the user.

ChatGPT With Siri: Say No More

One of the features that stands out with the iOS 18.2 update is the addition of ChatGPT with Siri. This further extends the AI capabilities offered by OpenAI, using its powerful AI chatbot to give a more complete and informative answer to questions and queries. Users can now get the details they need directly using Siri and by asking for ChatGPT.

Also, the update will include ChatGPT in the feature of Writing Tools and is optional to sign in. More advanced OpenAI models will be provided to iPhone users who have a paid account in ChatGPT for writing and creative work.

Apple is soon going to release the iOS 18.2 update. Hence, the users can have a number of innovative features to enjoy the experience. From the exciting app Image Playground to the flawless integration of ChatGPT in Siri, this is going to be an update that pushes the boundaries of what is possible on an iPhone.
