Apple is set to release its next major software update, iOS 18.2, this month or early next week. According to the company’s traditional release patterns, which have held true for recent updates, iOS 18.2 will likely be shipped during the first half of the week.
The exact date remains uncertain due to Apple’s tendency to avoid releasing big updates on Thursdays and Fridays. However, if tradition continues, it is expected to launch on one of the following days: Monday, December 9, Tuesday, December 10, or Wednesday, December 11.
When iOS 18.2 arrives, it will be accompanied by several companion updates, including iPadOS 18.2, macOS Sequoia 15.2, and tvOS 18.2. The major highlights of the update include:
* Genmoji for creating custom emojis
* ChatGPT integration with Siri and writing tools
* Image Playground for generating original images
* Visual intelligence on iPhone 16 models with Camera Control
