When Can We Expect More Apple Intelligence Features in the Release of iOS 18.2?

With the release of the iOS 18.2 public beta, anyone who isn’t squeamish about installing prerelease software on their iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro can get a preview of the next round of Apple Intelligence features. Those include visual intelligence, which is one of the key features of the new Camera Control button, and the ability to experiment with Genmoji and generated images in Apple’s Image Playground.

But a public beta is not yet a full release, which means the kinks are still being worked out. So what does that tell us about when we can expect the full release of iOS 18.2? We have a few clues.

When will iOS 18.2 be widely released?

The iOS 18.2 public beta comes pretty soon after the release of the second developer beta, suggesting that Apple is on a fast track to get the next version out soon. And according to frequent Apple watcher Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, iOS 18.2 is likely to arrive during the first week of December.

Which devices will run Apple Intelligence?

Remember that Apple Intelligence will work only with the following models that are equipped with the A17 Pro or later (iPhone and iPad Mini) and M1 or later (Mac and iPad) processors:

• iPhone 15 Pro
• iPhone 15 Pro Max
• iPhone 16
• iPhone 16 Plus

• iPad Mini (Late 2024)
• iPad Air (M1 and later)
• iPad Pro (M1 and later)
• iPad (M1 and later)
• Mac computers with Apple Silicon (M-series)

If your devices are on that list, remember that you need to jump through a couple of hoops to activate Apple Intelligence.
