As we know, or <a href="https://www.archyde.com/apple-intelligence-will-be-a-key-part-of-iphone-16-advertising/" title="Apple Intelligence Will Be a Key Part of iPhone 16 Advertising”>iOS 18.2 is already being tested with the iPadOS 18.2 and to macOS Sequoia 15.2but so far there has only been a single beta version released.

Even so, as Mark Gurman reported in your latest newsletter “Power On” (and Bloomberg), these updates should be released by Apple a little earlier than expected, in first week of December.

iOS 18.2, which includes major improvements to Apple Intelligence, will likely arrive the week of December 2, barring any unexpected delays.

December 2nd will coincide with the Cyber Mondaybut this would not be any impediment to releasing the systems on that date. Still, 3/12 (Tuesday) and 4/12 (Wednesday) are also possibilities.

The expectation for the updates is very high, as it will significantly expand the capabilities of the Apple Intelligence on compatible iPhones, iPads and Macs — including the arrival of Genmojis, Image Playground and ChatGPT integration in Siri, plus other good news [1, 2, 3].

With these new versions, Apple Intelligence will expand its English support to more countries (South Africa, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom). The arrival of Portugueseit is worth noting, is expected for some moment of 2025.

After the release of these updates, the next big wave of news for Apple Intelligence is only expected to Aprilwith iOS 18.4 and company. In other words, the 18.3 updates will probably be less significant — probably more focused on general improvements and bug fixes.
