Spoken like a man of significant experience.
A confident man waits for lesser men to tread where others show impatience to go. We're not talking D-day and medals of bravery here. Wait a day or two for the crying choir to have done it's part.
I did not install RC's but so far battery life for public 18.2 is horrible on my 16pm, 10% on a desk idle in one hour and still dropping. Have rebooted. No change. Worst battery drain I have ever seen on an iPhone under similar circumstances, hopefully it levels off soon.
I noticed a very weird bug where if you zoom in sort of try to fill the full screen on a YouTube video I was watching on maximum quality 2160p on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and when I tried to zoom in the phone went black for a second and a loading circle showed up and every app refreshed from start this is very weird, I’ve had this thing happen since iOS 18 but it would happen once a week at least randomly but now it happened twice in under 5 minutes very weird…
Apple today released iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2, the second major updates to the iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 updates that came out in September. The new updates come over a month after Apple released iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1.

The new software can be downloaded on eligible iPhones and iPads over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2 introduce new Apple Intelligence features, including the first image generation capabilities. Image Playground is a new app for creating images based on text descriptions, and you can add all kinds of costumes, items, backgrounds and more. You can even make your images look like your friends and family members.
Genmoji is similar to Image Playground, but it's for creating custom emoji characters that you can use in Messages. The third image generation feature is Image Wand, which is Image Playground but in the Notes app. You can make a rough sketch and use Apple Intelligence to make it better. The update includes ChatGPT integration for Siri, so Siri can hand complicated requests over to OpenAI's ChatGPT. For iPhone 16 users, the update adds Visual Intelligence to the Camera Control feature, so you can get more information on items and locations around you.
There are also new features for Photos, Safari, Mail, and more, with Apple's full release notes available below.
We have a range of guides on the new Apple Intelligence features, which might be helpful if you're new to the update and wondering what you can do with Apple Intelligence... Click here to read rest of article

Money. Thats why
Worked for me
Is reindexing after updates actually a thing, or just a myth?
Tell me more please, waiting on 17.7, considering to update our not.
Thanks for the feedback. So even this feature is English-only for now. Really annoying and frustrating.
Depends on the level of update, for sure full OS updates, and this was a big one, appeared to be a full rewrite, I am wondering if whatever the level of additional downloading for image playground could be the cause of the drain?
Opposite for my 12 mini. Odd. Camera is noticeably more snappy.
Hopefully, this will be better integrated in iOS 18.3, which is coming probably early February 2025.
I have Apple Intelligence enabled, and I have "Hey Siri" (and the ability to just say "Siri" - ugh) very intentionally turned off (the only device I ever want listening/answering when I say "Hey Siri" is the HomePod at home - I use it to control lights and to add reminders - but this has no bearing on Siri on the phone). I can get to Siri on my iPhone by holding down the side button (you can also turn this on/off), and by using "type to Siri" (double-tap on the very bottom of the screen, and this can also be turned on/off in settings).
TY. My interest is piqued. I really want to go to iOS 18.x. I know it sounds sad but I just have a HUGE Photos collection and rely upon finding older content, date specific, for social media content for a side hustle. TY very much!!! Tried on my wife's phone and the 12.12 (for Dec 12th) does not work. When I type Dec 12 it does seem to work but I want to be certain is pulling in all photos for that one day. Her library is much smaller than my library so I'll do some more testing tomorrow. TY again.
Amazing saw the broken UI in RC1 and thought that was why RC2 was released. Here we are on the final version and its still broken. Apple has zero QA nowadays.
