Apple today announced the official release of iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 to the public after over six weeks of testing. The iOS 18.2 version has garnered significant attention due to its new Apple Intelligence feature, which currently supports the iPhone 15 Pro series and iPhone 16 series.

Recently, according to Bloomberg, Apple is developing a new voice assistant, Siri, which will utilize advanced large language models (LLMs) technology to achieve a more natural conversational experience. This move aims to close the gap with competitors, as products like Google's Gemini Live have demonstrated higher naturalness in conversational capabilities in recent years. According to sources, the new Siri assistant will completely replace the current Siri interface used by customers, with a planned release in 2026.

Apple recently announced that it will integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT into the upcoming iOS 18.2 version. This update is expected to be officially released in December, at which point users will be able to experience a smarter Siri and other features. According to the latest news, the beta version of iOS 18.2 has added an option to directly upgrade to ChatGPT Plus in the settings, providing users with an easy way to subscribe to OpenAI's paid service, which costs $20 per month.

Apple plans to release the iOS 18.2 system update in the first week of December, specifically during the week of December 2, aimed at allowing users to quickly experience more artificial intelligence features. According to Mark Gurman, this update will integrate ChatGPT technology into Apple's voice assistant, Siri, allowing users to access ChatGPT's text and image generation capabilities for free without needing to create an account. Siri will use the expertise of ChatGPT to answer questions and will seek user consent before making inquiries.

Apple has recently launched the testing of its new artificial intelligence software suite, 'Apple Intelligence,' in the U.S., attracting attention from tech enthusiasts. This software rollout marks a significant advancement for Apple in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in writing assistance and voice assistant capabilities. Apple plans to expand these features to other English-speaking markets by December and expects to roll them out to users in the European Union by April 2025.

Apple has announced that its Apple Intelligence technology will officially debut next week with the iOS 18.1 update. Renowned tech journalist Mark Gurman revealed that the release date for iOS 18.1 is set for October 28.

These updates will provide iPhone users with a richer experience.

During a recent visit to China, Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked about when the Apple Intelligence service would enter the Chinese market during a visit to Weibo. In response, Cook stated that the company is actively promoting the matter, but they need to complete a series of specific regulatory procedures before bringing the service to Chinese consumers. He added that Apple is very much looking forward to providing this service to Chinese users as soon as possible.

Apple is working behind the scenes to add new Apple Intelligence features to iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15. We will see the first batch of features in the iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS 15.1 updates, but Apple is also preparing for the next set of features. MacRumors has discovered new references to ChatGPT integration for Siri, as Apple is getting ready to implement ChatGPT support.

According to the Power On newsletter, the Siri that has been completely rebuilt using Apple Intelligence might be released to users earlier than we initially thought. It may not be a complete experience, but we could start seeing some features rolled out ahead of time. Apple unveiled the brand new Siri at WWDC24 in June, and we are looking forward to it bringing some significant new features. Siri is expected to better understand speech errors, integrate with other applications, and understand context.

Apple recently announced a significant move to provide more users with the opportunity to test its latest software updates. This update will not only inject artificial intelligence into the virtual assistant Siri but will also enable multiple automation features on the upcoming iPhone 16 series, drawing widespread attention from the industry. Starting Thursday, Apple opened the free update of iOS 18.1 to registered testing users. It is noteworthy that currently, only two high-end iPhone models released last year are equipped with the powerful processors needed to run the new AI features.
