Apple has recently released the release candidate (RC) version of iOS 18.2, marking the final stage before the official public launch. This update brings a host of exciting features and enhancements, showcasing Apple’s commitment to innovation and user experience. Here’s a closer look at some of the standout features of iOS 18.2 RC:
Apple Intelligence Enhancements
iOS 18.2 RC introduces several features under the umbrella of Apple Intelligence, designed to make your iPhone smarter and more intuitive. One of the highlights is Image Playground, a new app that allows users to create playful images based on prompts. Whether you want to generate animated or illustrated images, Image Playground offers a range of creative possibilities.
Genmoji and Image Wand
Building on the creativity theme, iOS 18.2 RC includes Genmoji, a feature that lets users create custom emojis by describing them in text. Additionally, Image Wand is integrated into the Notes app, allowing users to transform sketches or highlighted text into visuals.
ChatGPT Integration
A significant addition to iOS 18.2 RC is the integration of ChatGPT with Siri. This feature enables Siri to pass certain queries to ChatGPT if it cannot provide an answer, making it easier for users to generate content from scratch3. User privacy is maintained, as neither Apple nor OpenAI stores these requests.
Visual Intelligence
The update also introduces Visual Intelligence, which uses the iPhone’s camera to provide contextual information about the user’s surroundings. For example, pointing the camera at a restaurant will display opening hours and reviews. Other capabilities include reading text aloud, detecting phone numbers and addresses, and providing links for purchasing items in view.
Enhanced Mail Categorization
iOS 18.2 RC improves the Mail app with a new categorization system. Emails are sorted into Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions, making it easier to manage your inbox4. A new digest view pulls together relevant emails from a business, allowing users to quickly scan for important information.
Productivity Tools
The update enhances Writing Tools, allowing for more open-ended changes to text, such as transforming an email into a poem or making the language more action-oriented. This feature adds a creative touch to everyday tasks.
Accessibility Improvements
iOS 18.2 RC expands the AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) hearing test feature to nine additional countries, including France, Italy, Romania, and Spain. This underscores Apple’s commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.
