iOS 18.2's Release Date Likely Leaked
Apple previously confirmed that iOS 18.2 will be released in December, and now a potential release date within the month has surfaced.
We believe that Apple is likely planning to release iOS 18.2 on Monday, December 9, based on a recent notice that British carrier EE provided to its customers. In the notice, EE said it will be discontinuing an iPhone feature known as "Wi-Fi calling on other supported iCloud-connected devices" on December 9. The feature enables users to make Wi-Fi calls on devices like the iPad and Mac, even when their iPhone is not nearby.
The second developer beta of iOS 18.2 last week came bundled with a new EE carrier settings version, which removed the "Add Wi-Fi Calling For Other Devices" toggle from the Wi-Fi Calling section in the Settings app on iPhones used by EE customers. Most carrier setting updates are bundled with iOS updates, so EE has likely indirectly revealed that iOS 18.2 will be released to all users on Monday, December 9.
iOS 18.2 includes additional Apple Intelligence features for iPhone 15 Pro models and all iPhone 16 models, including Genmoji, Image Playground, ChatGPT integration for Siri, and more. On all compatible iPhones, the update also adds a new Defaults section in the Settings app, an item location sharing feature in the Find My app, and more.
