Apple has released the iOS 18.2 RC version system update. The most eye-catching feature is the newly upgraded Apple Intelligence, especially its Visual Intelligence visual intelligence function. The feature allows users to identify objects and obtain relevant information through their phone’s camera, such as identifying buildings and displaying their location, opening hours and menus. This update is particularly important for iPhone 16 series users, bringing users a more convenient and smarter experience. Siri has also been innovated and integrated ChatGPT technology, but will first obtain user consent to ensure user privacy.
Apple today launched the iOS 18.2RC version system update to iPhone users. This quasi-official version update marks another major improvement in Apple’s user experience. The core of the update lies in the further improvement of Apple Intelligence, especially the introduction of the new Visual Intelligence visual intelligence function, which allows users to identify objects and obtain more relevant information through the mobile phone camera.
For iPhone16 series users, this update is particularly important. For example, users only need to point their mobile phone camera at a building and long press the photo button, and Visual Intelligence can provide the geographical location information of the building. For places such as restaurants, this function can also display practical information such as their opening hours and menus.
Apple has also innovated when it comes to Siri. The new Siri will integrate ChatGPT technology to answer users' questions more intelligently. Before calling ChatGPT, Siri will obtain the user's consent to ensure that the user's privacy and choice are respected.
In addition to the above functions, the iOS18.2RC version also adds a variety of Apple Intelligence functions such as Image Playground, which further enriches the user's intelligent experience.
However, currently, Bank of China users and many non-English speaking users are not yet able to enjoy all the features of Apple Intelligence. Apple plans to gradually launch multi-language versions of Apple Intelligence in Chinese, Indian English, French, German, and Japanese over the next year.
In addition, according to the latest news, Apple has confirmed that it is cooperating with Baidu and plans to use Baidu as an alternative to the National Bank version of ChatGPT. However, the cooperation between the two parties has currently encountered some obstacles, causing the original launch time to be postponed. Despite this, Apple is still actively promoting this cooperation in order to provide Bank of China users with a richer smart service experience.
The iOS 18.2 RC version update has brought many improvements to users, especially the improvement of Apple Intelligence, demonstrating Apple’s continued investment in the field of artificial intelligence. However, multi-language support and cooperation with Baidu still need to be further improved, and we look forward to bringing a more complete smart experience to more users around the world in the future. Future updates are worth looking forward to.
