Apple’s highly anticipated iOS update is expected to be released soon, with reports pointing to a release date within the next few days. The update includes significant features such as Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT integration, which will be available for users in countries outside the US for the first time.
The latest news comes from EE, a UK network carrier that has instructed its customers to expect a service change on December 9th, sparking speculation about the release date of iOS 18.2. However, experts believe that this may not be the actual release date and point to Monday, Dec. 10 or Wednesday, Dec. 11 as more likely options.
iOS 18.2 is expected to bring a range of new features, including Visual Intelligence, Image Playground, and enhanced Writing tools. Other changes include the arrival of the Hearing Test for AirPods Pro 2 in more countries and a major upgrade to Mail.
Given Apple’s release schedule and the significance of this update, experts are expecting it to be released soon. With only a few days left before the end of December, Monday, Dec. 10 or Wednesday, Dec. 11 seem like the most likely candidates for the release date.
