A few days ago Apple continued with its established plan and launched the Third beta for iOS 18.2 developers, the next major update to the Big Apple's software. This update will include New Apple Intelligence Features such as integration with ChatGPT, Visual Intelligence or Genmoji. All these new features will reach more countries, but it will not be until April when they reach more countries (including Spain). Although it is not official, Everything seems to indicate that iOS 18.2 will be released on December 9th worldwide, a date that fits with the timing from Apple for its upcoming updates.
December 9: Possible iOS 18.2 release date
Apple has already confirmed that iOS 18.2 will arrive in December. However, he did not confirm when, nor does he have any intention of doing so. But sometimes there are external elements, beyond Apple, that have exclusive information. This is what happened a few hours ago with the British operator EE. Normally, when a new version of iOS is released, the operators also modify and release the configurations according to the changes introduced in the new versions. And these updates usually coincide with the release of the new versions of iOS.
A few hours ago, the EE operator announced that the “Wi-Fi Calling on other supported devices signed in to iCloud” feature would disappear on December 9th. Remember that this feature allowed you to make calls when the iPhone was not nearby. As we have mentioned, the settings of each operator are modified with each major update. so it seems that on December 9th we will also have iOS 18.2 among us.
Obviously, the US can remove the feature at any time, but considering that they released a new configuration version (version 60.5.2) last week that included these changes in relation to the second beta of iOS 18.2, everything seems to indicate that this will be the date on which iOS 18.2 is released worldwide.
