Apple rolling out iOS 18.2 with new Apple Intelligence features

Apple is rolling out iOS 18.2 for iPhone users with new Apple Intelligence features including generative Image capabilities, new ChatGPT integration, and a couple more additions.

Apple Intelligence was released at WWDC24, and since then the company has been testing this new generative AI feature suit for iPhones. However, it’s rolling out in batches, for example, the first batch only introduced Apple Intelligence to iPhones.

Interestingly, iPhone 16 series was promoted with this new AI suit but the company also treated these new devices similar to last year’s iPhone 15 Pro models.

So, there are only six of these devices can install the latest iOS software update including iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro series.

The new update enables you to emojis with the new Genmoji app, open this app after installation, and type in a description. You can also create an emoji based on the images from the photo library, expanding the editing even further. Furthermore, the app has presets such as a hat or sunglasses for more enhancements.

Magic Wand tool helps you to make your note-taking experience broader with visual additions to create images in a note using the written or visual context already captured within the note.

You can also turn a sketch into an image with a circle gesture. Apple Intelligence will take on the power of on-board AI capability to transform the sketch based on the note context. Users can create images with Animation, Illustration, and an additional Sketch style in Image Wand.

Visual Intelligence

With this new feature, you can search for objects and information directly from your camera without a manual search. You have to use the new iPhone 16 camera controls and point it out to the object to summarise, extract text, and perform translation. You can also perform an image search with Google Images to find a similar item.

ChatGPT

This new upgrade will bring ChatGPT integration for Siri voice assistant and writing tools on the latest iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Users can log into their OpenAI account on the Apple Intelligence devices and record their requests to retain data.
