The iOS 18.2 update came out in December for iPhone users but a new version has rolled out this week for them.
The new iOS 18.2 version is rolling out this week with these fixes
The new iOS 18.2.1 update is rolling out this week for iPhone users and as expected this isn’t a very feature-heavy version from Apple. The iOS 18.2 update was released less than a month ago, and the .1 update seems like a quick fix to improve some issues and maybe handle certain security concerns. The iOS 18.2 update was the second installment from Apple that offered new AI features like visual intelligence on select iPhone models.
iOS 18.2.1 Update: What It Offers
The iOS 18.2.1 update can be downloaded by iPhone users who have already installed the iOS 18.2 version last month. Apple’s update note only says, “This update provides important bug fixes and is recommended for all users,” which suggests you shouldn’t expect to see any new features with the version.
Apple doesn’t even mention what has been fixed with this update but we are hoping the AI-related errors are part of the changes that iPhone users get with the new version.
Multiple reports have suggested AI summary tool on Apple devices is making big errors with news details that have been discovered and reported by media houses like BBC. People using the BBC news app have been notified about misleading details such as, popular tennis player Rafael Nadal announces himself as gay in front of the world, which is completely false.
These emergency releases from Apple also take care of unknown security risks, so it is vital that you update your iPhones right away.
