iOS 18.2 Is Here And Brings With It Intelligence

Everyone has been hearing about the most anticipated Apple Intelligence features. The waiting gameis over. Apple just released iOS 18.2 last 11 December, and the update brings a whole host of AI to iPhones -- only to the compatible ones.

Genmoji, Visual Intelligence and ChatGPT integrated Siri are just a few of the new features that will be implemented on iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max or a device from the iPhone 16 lineup. Older iPhones will still get new features, like an update to the Mail app.

There are only two words to describe the latest update: Apple Intelligence. That’s not to say there isn’t more to this update, but Apple Intelligence is key.

Not only is iOS 18.2 the biggest upgrade to Apple Intelligence so far, it’s the entire delivery of the new features for users in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, which haven’t had any Apple Intelligence features until now.

There are several security issues which are addressed by iOS 18.2, such as solutions to problems in both WebKit which is key to the Safari browser and the iPhone Kernel.

Note that while the last iOS 18 update was accompanied by an iOS 17 update for those users who didn't want to get onto the iOS 18 bandwagon, there are far fewer options this time around. Apple is saying you should upgrade to iOS 18. Also, before you use Apple Intelligence, you have to request it for your iPhone. To do so, go to Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri and tap Get Apple Intelligence.
