Apple usually releases x.2 updates in the second ten days of December: iOS 17.2 was released on December 11, and iOS 16.2 on December 13. It seems that the company, encouraged by the speed of users switching to iOS 18.1, is aiming to speed up the release of innovations so that iPhone owners can take advantage of the new features as early as possible.

According to Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman, the new iOS update will be one of Apple’s first attempts to offer users a more personalized device experience thanks to AI. The move is part of the company’s push to bring the second wave of Apple Intelligence to market faster. In particular, the Genmoji feature will allow users to create avatars that accurately reflect their appearance and style, while integration with ChatGPT will provide access to powerful AI tools that can help with everyday tasks.

The next major update, iOS 18.4, is scheduled for April next year, which is later than the traditional March release of version x.4. It is believed that Apple deliberately delayed the launch, likely to more thoroughly test and optimize new features. This update will include support for personalized context for Siri, allowing the assistant to take into account the user’s individual preferences and data.
