When Apple launched iOS 18 in September,Bayo it was perhaps the first time that the company's round number release was the most important iOS release of the year.
That's because the company opted for a slow, staggered launch of its AI (Apple Intelligence) features, most of which weren't available in iOS 18. Today, with the launch of iOS 18.2, nearly all of these features are live on the iPhone, the iPad, and on the Mac.

However, these new versions are only available to users who have device and Siri language set to localized English for Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the U.K., or the U.S.
Not all Apple Intelligence features are available in the EU; they will start rolling on the iPhone and iPad in April. The exception is the Mac, where Apple Intelligence features are available even in the EU.
In addition to the AI features introduced in iOS 18, and iOS 18.1, today iPhone, iPad and Mac users are also getting:
Genmoji
Image Playground
Image Wand for Notes
Describe Your Change option in Writing Tools
Visual Intelligence features for the Camera
Seamless integration of ChatGPT in Siri, as well as Writing Tools

Nope. According to Apple, additional Apple Intelligence capabilities will be available in the "months to come."
This includes a more capable Siri with onscreen awareness and the ability for Siri to take "hundreds of new actions" in Apple's own apps, as well as third-party apps. Priority Notifications, which will notify you only of the most important things on your phone are also coming, and Image Playground will get the ability to create images in a Sketch style.
Apple Intelligence features are available on iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad with A17 Pro or M1 and later, and Mac with M1 and later.
