Updated on Tuesday, January 28 with main points on more functions that have emerged in iOS 18. 3.
The latest iPhone update is here (and exactly when it was predicted to land). It includes an important update to those iPhones which run Apple Intelligence—something all iPhone users with access to these features need to think about. It follows on from iOS 18.2.1, a small update released on Monday, Jan. 6. And now the release is out, new elements have emerged, minor and major, which are useful additions.
These include greater versatility for Visual Intelligence, the return of a popular capability in the Calculator app and more. Full details below.
The new edition of iOS 18 is compatible with any 2018 iPhone. This is the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR from 2018 and all iPhones after that, adding the ‘iPhone SE in its moment and third generation models.
In the iPhone configuration application, click generally, then click software update. After that, click Download and Install, and let the software paintings their magic. This is a large update, 1. 14 GB on my iPhone Pro Max.
Unlike iOS 18. 1 and iOS 18. 2, there is no Apple’s large intelligence capacity that unfolds here. In fact, the live function will be interrupted when updating the new version. This is because there have been disorders with express notification summaries created through Apple Intelligence. These are related to news notifications and have disorders for press organizations. To solve this problem, Apple temporarily suspended the new and entertainment category category.
This update also adds warnings that summarization can cause issues, and the summaries will now appear in italics. Apple Intelligence is found on six iPhones: iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
There is also a very important replacement for these phones: from now on, Apple Intelligence is enabled by default. This is important: if you don’t need Apple intelligence, now you have to alternate it in Apple Intelligence configuration
The new features are increasingly useful, however, some parts of them want data, if chatpp is invoked, you may not want to use it. In the balance, I would say that it is a value to keep the rocker in front of the entrance, however, the thing is to take its own choice.
One thing that might be on your mind is iPhone storage. If your phone doesn’t have too much space to spare, bear in mind that Apple Intelligence uses storage to operate. The new software, as Tim Hardwick at MacRumors points out, enables “Apple Intelligence on supported devices by default. Whether you own an iPhone, iPad, Mac‑—or indeed all three—regardless of what you think about Apple Intelligence, there’s one reason why you may want to disable Apple’s AI features at the earliest opportunity: To reclaim storage,” as Tim Hardwick at MacRumorspoints out.
How much garage, are you asking? The message continues: “According to Apple’s assistance page, Apple Intelligence now requires 7 GB of garage space. This number is applied that uses an iPhone, an iPad or a Mac. And it is imaginable that this garage requirement can still grow In the future, for example, when Siri is updated in iOS 18. 4 in a few weeks.
If you have previously disabled Apple Intelligence but then gone along with the welcome screens encouraging you to check it out, then you need to turn it off if you don’t want it. If previously you chose “Set Up Later” as your option, that choice is still respected now. Disabling Apple Intelligence restores your storage levels.
Since the launch, it has been transparent that there are more minor updates in the next new version: the phones of the iPhone 16 series have camera and the AE/AF block alternation is renowned as a concentrated and blocking exhibition. If you cut content when editing a PDF, Apple will now notice users that the short domain is not removed from the PDF (which can save some shame) and the messages will load a genumji access to the button, so it is less difficult to create His own emoji tradition, which is some other characteristic of Apple Intelligence.
Visual Intelligence (exclusive to iPhone 16 series models) has now been expanded so that, like adding an occasion to the calendar when you point at the camera on a poster or flyer, it can now also identify plants and animals.
The Calculator app allows you to repeat calculations when you tap the equal sign (so after 2 x 2 you press = and it shows 4, tap = again and the x2 calculation happens again to show, yes, that’s right you math wizard, 8).
Apple has added Unity Rhythm wallpaper to honor Black History month and that wallpaper is accessible to every iPhone running iOS 18.3.
A factor in which the keyboard disappeared when a written Siri application has now been corrections.
And, a curious one this, that might even seem spooky in the wrong circumstances, the new update resolves an issue where audio playback continues to the end of a song even when you’ve closed Apple Music. As though Apple was saying, “I like this song, you’re going to hear it to the end.”
Finally, you can now turn off notification summaries from the lock screen, if you run Apple Intelligence.
