While not all advertised Apple Intelligence features will be available immediately, iOS 18.2 introduces several capabilities that aim to make your iPhone smarter and more intuitive. Below, we've listed 18 new things your iPhone will be able to do when the update rolls out in December.
The release of iOS 18 brought a number of new features to Apple's Journal app, including the new ability to search and sort entries.

An Apple Vis Original What's new in iOS 18 for accessibility?
Hello and welcome.
My name is Thomas Donville, also known as Anonymous, as like every year, a new iOS comes in play and Apple brings out new features for us to enjoy.
So with no exception, this year we got a slew of new features for voiceover users, braille users, and other accessibility features that you might find of interest.
There's a lot in here to pack, so let's go ahead and jump right into it and you can hear for yourself what is new in iOS 18 for accessibility.
Live recognition is now an option within your rotor if you include it.
To include it, you just go to your accessibility and head over to rotors and include the live recognition.
This allows you to access live recognition quickly and easily by simply going to your rotor.
Once enabled, we'll just head over to live recognition within our rotor, where you are able to select one or more of the various detections you would like to be enabled.
As you swipe down or up within the rotor, you get the various detection.
To enable a particular detection, just simply do one finger double tap, double tap again and that'll disable it.
If you dismiss the rotor and keep the detection on, it will now live in with your dynamic island towards the top of your device or you can dismiss it from there as well.
Apple has now enhanced the voice over voice option within rotors, which used to be called language.
This rotor allows you to access the various voices that you have defined within speech under accessibility, but that itself has completely been revamped, which you can find within the voice over in the accessibility.
Double tap on this now.
You now have two section in here, first is your primary voice, which can be in any language, doesn't have to be necessarily English and they can…
Когда Apple впервые рассказала про интеграцию ChatGPT в наши айфоны, мне особенно запомнился тот факт, что нейросетью можно будет пользоваться абсолютно бесплатно. То есть выглядело это так, что владельцы техники Apple получают в своё распоряжение можный ИИ, за который все остальные пользователи платят по 20 долларов в месяц. Такой шаг был не совсем похож на...
Apple выпустила iOS 18.2 beta 3 для авторизованных разработчиков. Номер сборки — 22C5131e. Компания сообщила лишь про исправления ошибок и повышение стабильности. О другом не сообщается. Если что-то станет известно, мы обновим статью. Что нового: • вернулся старый видеоплеер в приложение Фото • начиная с iPadOS 18.2 beta 3, панель навигации в приложении TV теперь...
В iOS 18.2 beta 3 вернулся классический видеоплеер. Теперь видео открываются сразу на весь экран, как это было в предыдущих версиях системы. Новое приложение Фото в iOS 18 многих бесило, потому что по умолчанию открывало видео в уменьшенном размере с белой рамкой по боками. Чтобы развернуть его на весь экран, приходилось ещё раз нажимать на...
В коде третьей бета-версии iOS 18.2 найдены новые иконки приложений Климат и Медиа для CarPlay нового поколения. Впервые эти иконки появились в iOS 17.4, а сейчас компания немного изменила их дизайн. Apple утверждает на своём сайте, что первые автомобили с новым CarPlay появятся в 2024 году, но до сих пор ни один автопроизводитель не выпустил...
Apple выпустит iOS 18.2 с новыми функциями Apple Intelligence 9 декабря, сообщает MacRumors. Дата выпуска обновления основана на информации от британского оператора EE. Он сообщил своим клиентам, что с 9 декабря перестанет работать услуга, позволяющая пользователям совершать Wi-Fi звонки на iPad и Mac, когда их iPhone находится не рядом. В iOS 18.2 beta 2 обновились...
Apple today seeded the second public betas of upcoming iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 updates, allowing the public to continue testing new features ahead of when the software launches. The public betas come a day after Apple provided developers with new betas.
Public beta testers can download the updates from the Settings app on each device after opting into the beta through Apple's public beta testing website. Note that Apple has also released public betas for watchOS 11.2, tvOS 18.2, and the latest HomePod software.
iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia introduce the next Apple Intelligence features, including the first image generation capabilities.
The update adds Image Playground, a new app for creating images based on text descriptions. You can enter anything you want, though Apple will suggest costumes, locations, items, and more to add to an image. There are options to create characters that resemble your friends and family, and you can choose a photo for Image Playground to use as inspiration to create a related image. Elements added to Image Playground creations are previewed, and there is a preview history so you can undo a change and go back to a prior version.
While Image Playground is a standalone app, it is also integrated into Messages, Notes, Freeform, and more. Image Playground does not make photorealistic images and is instead limited to animation or illustration styles.
The update also adds Genmoji, which are customizable emoji characters that you can create based on descriptions and phrases. Like Image Playground creations, you can base them on your friends and family, with the data pulled from the People album in Photos. You can also make characters using basic elements, and you'll get multiple Genmoji suggestions to choose from. You can create Genmoji using the emoji keyboard.
Genmoji are limited to iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2 right now, and will be coming to macOS Sequoia later.
Siri in iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 has ChatGPT integration. If Siri is unable to provide an answer to a question, Siri will hand the request over to ChatGPT, though Siri will need user permission first. ChatGPT will answer the question and relay the information back through Siri.
ChatGPT can be used to create content from scratch, including text and images. No account is required to use ChatGPT integration, and Apple and OpenAI do not store requests.
If you have an iPhone 16, there's a Visual Intelligence feature in iOS 18.2 that provides information about what's around you. Open up the camera and point it at a restaurant to get reviews, or point it at an item to search Google for it.
Some other Visual Intelligence capabilities include reading text out loud, detecting phone numbers and addresses to add them to Contacts, copying text, and summarizing text.
Apple added Writing Tools in iOS 18.1, but in iOS 18.2, you can more freely describe the tone or content change that you want to make, such as adding more action words, or turning an email into a poem.
Apple Intelligence now supports localized English in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, and the UK in addition to U.S. English.
Apple previously confirmed that iOS 18.2 will be released in December, and now a potential release date within the month has surfaced.
We believe that Apple is likely planning to release iOS 18.2 on Monday, December 9, based on a recent notice that British carrier EE provided to its customers. In the notice, EE said it will be discontinuing an iPhone feature known as "Wi-Fi calling on other supported iCloud-connected devices" on December 9. The feature enables users to make Wi-Fi calls on devices like the iPad and Mac, even when their iPhone is not nearby.
The second developer beta of iOS 18.2 last week came bundled with a new EE carrier settings version numbered 60.5.2, up from 59.5.1 on the first iOS 18.2 beta and iOS 18.1. The new carrier settings version removed the "Add Wi-Fi Calling For Other Devices" toggle from the Wi-Fi Calling section in the Settings app on iPhones used by EE customers, in line with the carrier announcing that it will stop offering the feature next month.
Most carrier setting updates are bundled with iOS updates, aside from ones with bug fixes, so EE has likely indirectly revealed that iOS 18.2 will be released on December 9. We are not absolutely certain about this date, but it is a very likely possibility.
iOS 18.2 being released on December 9 would not be very surprising. Apple already said the update was coming next month, many iOS updates are released on Mondays, and the second half of the month is pretty much ruled out due to the holiday season. Nevertheless, you can now mark your calendars a little more precisely.
iOS 18.2 includes additional Apple Intelligence features for iPhone 15 Pro models and all iPhone 16 models, including Genmoji, Image Playground, ChatGPT integration for Siri, and more. On all compatible iPhones, the update also adds a new Defaults section in the Settings app, an item location sharing feature in the Find My app, and more.
