More Apple Intelligence features coming on iOS 18.2 update in December

Apple’s iOS 18.1 that rolled out last week has included the first set of Apple Intelligence features such as new writing and photo editing tools, and updated Siri among others.

Now, for iOS 18.2, Apple is aiming to bring over more AI-powered features in early December. These include ChatGPT integration, Image Playground, and Genmoji, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

This update will also expand to various English dialects beyond American English. Gurman says that the aforementioned iOS 18.2 update will likely come in the first week of December.

The next big phase of Apple Intelligence rollout is slated for April 2025 with iOS 18.4. This will introduce a smarter Siri, tapping into users’ data and contextually respond to queries based on what’s happening on-screen.

By that time, users in the EU should get the taste of Apple Intelligence. However, other regions such as China may have to wait until iOS 19.
