Apple has just released their latest update, iOS 18.2, and it's full of exciting new AI features. This means that some lucky iPhone users will now have access to cutting-edge technology from the tech giant. The update was initially only available on the recently launched iPhone 16, but now it can be downloaded on any iPhone model that is newer than the iPhone XS.
However, not all iPhone models will be able to use these new AI features. Only those with the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the iPhone 16 series will have access to them. These features include Image Playground, Genmoji, and Visual Intelligence. Image Playground allows users to create digital artwork using prompts, descriptions, or existing photos. Genmoji allows for custom emojis to be created by either describing them or using existing images. And Visual Intelligence, which is only compatible with the iPhone 16 series, lets users get information about anything they point their camera at through the ChatGPT feature.
But don't worry if your iPhone isn't compatible with these new features. The update also includes a new phone call recorder that can transcribe conversations into the notes app. This feature is available on the iPhone 16 and all newer models.
Speaking of compatible iPhones, here is a full list of models that can support the new Apple iOS 18.2 update:
- iPhone SE, 2nd generation
- iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR
- iPhone 11 series
- iPhone 12 series
- iPhone 13 series
- iPhone 14 series
- iPhone 15 series
- iPhone 16 series
If you have one of the compatible models and are eager to try out the new AI features, here's how you can update your iPhone to iOS 18.2.
First, make sure your phone is charging and connected to WiFi. If you have automatic updates turned on, your phone will install the update automatically while you're charging and connected to WiFi. You'll receive a notification before the update is installed.
To turn on automatic updates, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates. Then, turn on the option for iOS Updates under "Automatically Install" and "Automatically Download."
If you prefer to update manually, simply plug your device into power and connect to the internet with WiFi. Then, go to Settings > General > Software Update. If you see multiple software update options, choose the iOS 18.2 update. Tap on "Install Now" and if you see "Download and Install" instead, tap on it, enter your passcode, and then tap "Install Now."
Now you're all set to enjoy all the new AI features on your iPhone! Keep an eye out for more updates and exciting features from Apple in the future.
