Apple releases iOS 18.2.1 with new bug fixes

Apple has released an iOS 18.2.1 software update for iPhones with new bug fixes, which aims to improve the user experience and prepare the system for the next feature upgrade.

The company is sending this software after iOS 18.2, which is primarily known for the second batch of Apple Intelligence features.

It has the ability to unlock generative images via Image Playground and other system apps. On the other, the iPhone 15 Pros and iPhone 16 series now have ChatGPT integration, which can be accessed via Siri.

You can also log in to your ChatGPT account to these Apple Intelligence-supported iPhones and save your conversation while integrating your Pro plan to these devices.

Furthermore, the visual intelligence feature lets you analyze the objects around you via the iPhone’s camera and shows you the latest results.

The iOS 18.2.1 can be downloaded via Settings > General > Software update. However, you can also schedule the upgrade for overnight.

Apple has more of these AI features pending, and these could come with iOS 18.3 in the first quarter of 2025.
