hello. This is Technologytodaynow. Apple has officially announced that it is distributing iOS 18.1 version, and I will summarize and deliver the related content.
iOS 18.1 and iOS 18.2 update schedule announced
iOS 18.1 update hoped to fix Panic Full issue
According to reports by several media outlets, including McRumors, on the 22nd, Apple is scheduled to update its latest operating system, iOS 18.1, on the 28th of this month. Therefore, the update is expected to address the panic full issue that occurred on the iPhone 16 series. The panic full phenomenon is a problem in which the device suddenly stops or reboots, causing great inconvenience to users.
The issue has been heavily reported by the community, both domestically and internationally, and Apple is planning to fix it with the iOS 18.1 update. Apple has been silent on panic fulls, but the iOS 18.1 release notes are the first to address the issue.
Fixed panic fulls and other bugs
In addition to Panic Full, the iOS 18.1 update is also expected to fix a number of other bugs, such as podcast playback issues, overheating during high-definition video playback in the Photos app, and a car smart key error. So it looks like iPhone users should now be able to use their devices in a stable environment.
iOS 18.1 with Apple Intelligence
In addition, iOS 18.1 introduces Apple Intelligence, Apple’s new AI system. This iOS 18.1 will bring some of the features of Apple Intelligence to the US English version.
A call recording function has been added to convert or summarize the call into text, and it also includes summarizing the contents of the email, removing the part you want to erase from the picture, and improving Siri’s communication skills. In addition, various important notifications, such as mail, can be placed at the top of the screen to be easily recognized by users, and distractions in images can be automatically identified and removed. Apple’s own voice assistant, Siri, will also improve communication skills.
iOS 18.2 update expands AI capabilities
Apple is releasing a beta of iOS 18.2 to select developers at the same time as the iOS 18.1 update. Apple announced a partnership with Open AI in May, and in iOS 18.2, Chat GPT will be integrated with Siri, so that if Siri sees fit to answer a question from Chat GPT, it will answer it via Chat GPT with the user’s permission.
Key features of iOS 18.2
There’s more to come in iOS 18.2.
- Users create their own emoji or change the tone of text
- Includes not only the ability to summarize sentences succinctly, but also other features
- We’re also adding the ability to perform various actions with commands in Siri from within a specific app.
Finalize
So far, we have reported on the iOS 18.1 update schedule and iOS 18.2 beta release. Many iPhone 16 users are experiencing inconvenience due to the panic full phenomenon, but one good thing is that the panic full phenomenon is most likely a software error. If it’s a hardware issue, it’s a serious problem, but a software glitch isn’t something to worry about and can be easily fixed with an update.
And finally, Apple Intelligence will be supported, but it’s too bad that it’s still a half-hearted feature. Moreover, the language is only available in English, and other languages such as Korean are still a long way off, so non-English-speaking countries will have to wait a long time to fully utilize the features of Apple Intelligence.
