all the new AI features for your iPhone Chance Miller / 9to5Mac : iOS 18.2 beta 1: Every new feature and change M.G. Siegler / Spyglass : Apple Boosts Their Intelligence Ryan Christoffel / 9to5Mac : This is how Apple's handling privacy with iOS 18.2's ChatGPT integration Michael Potuck / 9to5Mac : iOS 18.2 beta: How to make your own emoji with Genmoji on iPhone Max Buondonno / The Shortcut : Apple's first iOS 18.2 beta is here with ChatGPT, Genmoji, and more Juli Clover / MacRumors : Testing the Image Playground, Genmoji and Siri ChatGPT Integration in iOS 18.2 Jason Cross / Macworld : iOS 18.2 beta is available with loads of new Apple Intelligence features iClarified : What's New in iOS 18.2 Beta Ed Hardy / Cult of Mac : Beta testing begins for iOS 18.2 with Image Playground, Genmoji, more new AI features Ryan Christoffel / 9to5Mac : You can send Genmoji from a non-AI iPhone, but you'll need a friend on iOS 18.2 Gary Ng / iPhone in Canada Blog : iOS 18.2 Beta 1 Released with ChatGPT, Canada English and More Benjamin Mayo / 9to5Mac : iOS 18.2 brings Apple Intelligence support to more regions Ryan Christoffel / 9to5Mac : macOS Sequoia 15.2 beta 1 now available with new Apple Intelligence features John Gruber / Daring Fireball : Stage 2 of the Apple Intelligence Rollout Begins, With Developer Betas of iOS 18.2 and MacOS 15.2 Sequoia Brian Heater / TechCrunch : Image Playground, ChatGPT, and more Apple Intelligence features roll out in beta Taimur Asad / Redmond Pie : Download: iOS 18.2 Beta 1 OTA Profile Update, IPSW Links Released CNET : More Apple Intelligence Features Like ChatGPT Drop With the iOS 18.2 Developer Beta Nelson Aguilar / CNET : You Can Download iOS 18.2 Developer Beta, Featuring ChatGPT, Visual Intelligence and GenMoji John Voorhees / MacStories : New Developer Betas Released for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS with Image Playground, ChatGPT Integration, and More Apple Intelligence Features John-Anthony Disotto / TechRadar : Genmoji and Image Playground are finally here in the first iOS 18.2 developer beta José Adorno / BGR : iOS 18.2 beta 1 now available with Genmoji, ChatGPT integration, and more José Adorno / BGR : macOS 15.2 beta 1 now available with expanded Apple Intelligence features Malcolm Owen / AppleInsider : Apple restarts iOS, iPadOS, MacOS betas with bigger Apple Intelligence push Cherlynn Low / Engadget : Apple Intelligence expands in iOS 18.2 developer beta, adding Genmoji, Visual Intelligence and ChatGPT Threads: Benedict Evans / @benedictevans : Playing with the new ChatGPT integration on my iPhone. I'm thinking about the Google search integration in Safari, and Maps, but also the time a decade ago when Apple freely integrated Facebook and Twitter. It's not clear where this goes in the stack - at the top or at the bottom. Is this the new platform or the new spellcheck? Mastodon: Brian Costa / @cronocx@mastodon.social : This is bonkers! And great news! Shocked that #Apple is allowing default Calling and Messaging Apps, worldwide in #iOS 18.2 🤯 — Also found here, third paragraph down: https://developer.apple.com/ ... https://mastodon.social/... [image] Steve Troughton-Smith / @stroughtonsmith … : Apple's AI image generation is like where Midjourney was three years ago, and is only going to further sully the idea of AI art (when the state of the art models are actually incredible) 🤢 X: @macrumors : That's... not bad 🤣 Apple's Image Playground in iOS 18.2 Beta lets you generate images based on people. [image] @slimothytv : Wow, iOS 18.2 iMessage Keyboard is SO MUCH faster. Let's see if this stays this time... or if it gets laggy again. @techliandr : New in iOS 18.2 beta 1 The Mail app has been revamped to include categories for sorting emails, along with new display options: prioritization through Apple Intelligence and sorting by sender. [image] @spercharged : iOS 18.2 Beta 1: The new beta includes the redesigned Apple Mail app, which now includes automatic categorization of emails in the first major redesign of the Mail app on iPhone. Alan Mamedi / @alanmamedi : Exciting development!! iOS 18.2 lets you set new default apps for messaging, calls, more via Settings hub https://9to5mac.com/... Zach Moss / @zachlmoss : BIG changes coming to email with this iOS 18.2 beta release. Tabs, promos all the way at the end, all emails from sender bundled together. All enabled by default (as of beta 1) [video] @vyyyper : @MichaelPepperT That is nothing compared to the way they are marketing Apple Intelligence. I'm just glad I can stop talking about this next week 🤣🤣🤣 Michael Gartenberg / @gartenberg : @zollotech 💯 Aaron Zollo / @zollotech : I must say I don't think it's wise of Apple to release betas before the next version is out to the public. Seems goofy and I don't like this current trend. Mark Gurman / @markgurman : While Apple did telegraph at WWDC that many AI features would come later, it is unreasonable to say Apple outlined a roadmap. While my schedule from June is accurate, it required a lot of tea leaf reading and sources consumers obviously aren't privy to. https://www.bloomberg.com/... @luftkopptim : @zollotech I don't like Apples current software trend in general... it's a total mess everywhere Andru Edwards / @andruedwards : New video! I Tried making some wild #Genmoji in iOS 18.2 😂 https://www.youtube.com/... Group chats are about to go INSANE. [image] Mark Gurman / @markgurman : Apple also never indicated that Genmoji and Image Playground would come later. I did, the day before the iPhone event. There was actually little transparency from Apple itself. https://www.bloomberg.com/... @isiosstable : @zollotech It does feel like a kneejerk reaction line with how poor the iPhone 16 release has been. Marketing the device based solely on unfinished software. Bit of a shame for Apple to do it this way, but in a few months, it'll all be forgotten Mark Gurman / @markgurman : New Mail UI looks great Mark Gurman / @markgurman : If Apple was able to release iOS 18.2's version of Apple Intelligence — two months earlier, in September — the conversation would have been completely different. This is a big upgrade. Parker Ortolani / @parkerortolani : hopefully they grant access quickly, but I'm not a fan of this - you should get all encompassing access once you get off the main Intelligence waitlist Mr. Macintosh / @classicii_mrmac : Apple Beta Releases for 10/23/24👇 This release is for Apple Intelligence supported devices only. Beta 1 Sequoia 15.2 (24C5057p) iOS 18.2 (22C5109p) iPadOS 18.2 (22C5109p) [image] Brandon Butch / @brandonbutch : Apple released iOS 18.2 Beta before the final release of iOS 18.1, just like they did with 18.1 Beta before the final version of 18.0. This is likely only because of Apple Intelligence, but it's a good strategy. The more time for beta testing, the better. Michael / @mastermike88 : 18.2 beta 1 is out. Interesting - Apple seems to really want to overlap version cycles for 18.x (likely for Apple Intelligence) obviously don't update
