Apple rumored to release iOS 18.2 on December 9

… or soon thereafter.

iOS 18.2 will bring a bigger, 2nd wave of Apple Intelligence features to iPhone, including Image Playground and an improved, smarter Siri. Before you get too excited, remember, Apple Intelligence will only work on iPhone 15 Pro Max or better (including the entire iPhone 16 family).

Most likely iPadOS 18.2 will be released at the same time. It’s also possible Apple could release subtle upgrades to other Apple device OSes.
