Apple’s iOS 18.2 reveals next phase of Apple Intelligence

Apple on Wednesday released a beta version of its iPhone operating system, iOS 18.2, with a slew of Apple Intelligence features, including its much-anticipated ChatGPT integration.
Kif Leswing for CNBC:
‎

This latest batch of features is included in a beta version of iOS 18.2 for software developers that was released Wednesday. Apple developer betas typically go through a cycle of weeks before they are released to the public.
The preview included with iOS 18.2 contains:
• New abilities to describe how the user wants Apple Intelligence to rewrite a chunk of text.
• Genmoji, Apple’s image generator for new emojis.
• Image Playground, Apple’s AI image generator.
• Image Wand, a feature that allows users to remove objects or distractions from photos.
• Integration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
However, the long-awaited ability for Siri to take actions inside of apps isn’t included in this update, but is expected soon…
Some Apple Intelligence features are already in testing by the public, and will be released next week as part of iOS 18.1. The first wave of tools included the ability to rewrite text, a new look for Siri, and notification summaries that take a stack of push notifications and condenses them into a few sentences.
