iOS 18.2 could land a week earlier than expected, and it’ll include big Apple Intelligence updates

Usually it’s the big annual iOS updates that are most worth getting excited about, but this year, due to Apple’s decision to gradually roll out Apple Intelligence features, some of the supposedly smaller updates are arguably just as interesting, and the next of these could land sooner than expected.

According to Mark Gurman, writing in his Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, iOS 18.2 will land sometime during the week commencing December 2. Typically, Apple’s iOS x.2 releases land in the second week of December, so that would mean this is around a week earlier than usual.
