In recent weeks, Apple has regained its market dominance with the announcement of the iPhone 16 series and other devices, also unveiling the new iOS version during the event. iOS 18, released on September 16, has already started receiving beta versions. Directly released was iOS 18.1 Beta, and now work is underway for iOS 18.2 Beta. Here are the details…
iOS 18.2 Beta Expected to Launch by Late October
As it does every year, Apple announced iOS 18 with new features. One of the most notable features that dominated a significant portion of the launch event was the Apple Intelligence capabilities. While the full version of iOS 18.1 is expected to be unveiled in a few weeks, details about iOS 18.2 Beta have started to emerge.
Looking at previous years, Apple typically releases .1 updates by late October. This year, it’s expected to be no different, and according to popular Apple analyst Mark Gurman, the company may even release the update by mid-October.
Apple tends to release updates around the same time each year. The past years’ release dates are as follows:
| iOS .1 Release Date | iOS .2 Beta Release Date |
|---|---|
| iOS 17 | October 25 |
| iOS 16 | October 24 |
| iOS 15 | October 25 |
Based on this table, it is possible that this year’s update could be released on similar dates, with iOS 18.2 Beta likely available within three days.
New Features Coming with the Beta Version:
- Genmoji: Allows users to create emojis
- Image Playground
- ChatGPT integration
- Personal content awareness for Siri
