Apple is still conducting tests for two firmware versions simultaneously: the standard iOS 18, which will be released a week after the launch of the iPhone 16, and iOS 18.1. The latter is currently available only to developers on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and it provides access to the Apple Intelligence neural network. This version includes some features that have not been included in any other OS version. Therefore, some of these features will likely be incorporated into iOS 18.2, which will be released before the end of 2024.
We have chosen the five most remarkable aspects of iOS 18.2. These include the integration of the ChatGPT neural network into Siri, the capability to design your own emojis, and much more. For these features, you can even purchase a brand-new iPhone 16, about which we already have comprehensive knowledge.

ChatGPT on iPhone
We have chosen the five most significant features of iOS 18.2. These include the integration of the ChatGPT neural network into Siri, the ability to design your own emojis, and much more. To access these features, you can purchase a brand-new iPhone 16, about which we already have comprehensive knowledge.
In certain situations, the voice assistant may suggest utilizing ChatGPT, which in some instances can prevent the need to visit websites containing specific content and provide you with a pre-formatted text. Naturally, this functionality is limited to English, but is this a concern if you wish to explore the capabilities of an advanced neural network? Furthermore, there is a strong likelihood that Apple will gradually expand the language support for Apple Intelligence, and eventually, it will encompass Russian.
How to create an emoji on iPhone
One of the most anticipated features of Apple Intelligence will be Genmoji. These are custom-made emoticons that you can create on your iPhone using a neural network. Simply enter a text query, such as “a smiley resting with cucumbers in front of their eyes,” and you will receive an image that matches your description. You can then select one of the four options and send it to your contact.
Furthermore, if you employ iMessage for this purpose, the message will appear on the recipient’s device as a standard emoji. However, if you send it through third-party applications, there is a possibility that Genmobi will initially appear as ordinary images. It is crucial for developers to ensure that their apps are properly optimized for the appropriate iOS version.
Email on iPhone
A completely redesigned Mail app is expected to be released in iOS 18.2. While many people have been eagerly awaiting its arrival, there have been no indications that it will be included in iOS 18 or 18.1. This new program will automatically sort incoming emails into different categories, without the need for user intervention. For instance, all receipts can be grouped in the “Transactions” section, while advertising and promotional offers from stores can be collected in a separate “Promotions” folder.
In addition, users will be able to group incoming emails by sender, allowing them to easily see what has come from each address. This is convenient as it prevents unread emails from being mixed up with other messages. If the user plans to write in English, they can use Apple’s neural network-powered intelligence to generate responses and even adjust the style of their writing.
Connect a robot vacuum cleaner to an iPhone
Many iPhone users use their smartphones not only for making calls, taking pictures, and communicating on social networks and messaging apps, but also for controlling their smart home devices through the Home app. With iOS 18.2, this app’s capabilities will expand, allowing users to add robot vacuums to their home automation systems.
However, it is still uncertain which models will be supported, but Xiaomi will certainly make a big deal out of it. At the very least, I hope so. I agree that it would be convenient if we did not need to download several different applications to control our equipment on our smartphones. It would be much easier to manage everything from one platform.
Siri Voice Assistant
There is a high possibility that starting with iOS 18.2, Apple will begin a gradual upgrade of Siri. The voice assistant is expected to become much more intelligent and start to remember the context and consider the adjustments the user makes during task creation. In iOS 18.2, users will still not be able to create their own custom commands and voice automations, but by that point the assistant will start parsing the content of the screen and executing relevant tasks.
For example, when you read an article in Safari, you can simply say “Send this article” and Siri will send a link to the article to the selected contact. Of course, Apple may delay these features until next year, but considering how carefully Apple develops its products, I would not be surprised if some of these features appear in iOS 18.2 or later.
