Apple has released iOS 18.2 in the UK, introducing new AI features like Image Playground and Genmoji. This update is available for devices with an A12 Bionic chip or later, but only the iPhone 15 Pro, Pro Max, and iPhone 16 series can access the new AI capabilities. Previously, iPhone 16 users had to wait for these features, which are now available for the first time. Users can create images from text and custom emojis, while visual intelligence is exclusive to the latest models. Devices without the latest chips will still receive some updates, such as a phone call recorder and improved App Store search. The update began rolling out on December 11, 2024.
