You can try out the beta version of Apple's generative AI with an iPhone 15 Pro or any iPad or Mac with an M1 chip or later. Here's everything to know about Apple Intelligence.

As expected, Apple today released its iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1 updates, which bring the first Apple Intelligence features to compatible iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Apple has released iOS / iPadOS 18.2 into public beta, as spotted by MacRumors. It includes access to the second wave of Apple Intelligence features that were already available to developers, like the AI-generated custom emoji feature Genmoji and the Image Playground feature that generates pictures.

The iOS 18.2 public beta comes pretty soon after the release of the second developer beta, suggesting that Apple is on a fast track to get the next version out soon. And according to frequent Apple watcher Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, iOS 18.2 is likely to arrive during the first week of December.

Apple Intelligence arrives one month into iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, bringing a few of the anticipated Apple Intelligence features to iPhones and iPads, but there's nothing revolutionary about Apple's AI push.
