It is already certain in the rumors that Apple’s iOS 18.2 will be out sooner rather than later. Now a British mobile phone provider has sent such information to its customers, which seems to have fixed a special date. like macromers noticed Company EE is planning According to a forum entry on December 9 closure of one Wi-Fi calling functionWhich previously made it possible to route calls to other iCloud devices (such as a Mac or iPad) via WLAN. The downgrade of functionality will be implemented with the new version 60.5.2 of EE Carrier Settings – the mobile phone settings that each network operator is allowed to supply. These carrier settings 60.5.2 are considered part of the second developer beta of iOS 18.2. From this it can be concluded that the new operating system will also appear on December 9 with the new EE Carrier Settings 60.5.2.

Early updates would not be unusual
Apple had already announced that iOS 18.2 would be released in December. Such an update would be unusual around Christmas time, which is why it was already expected in the first half of the month. This date seems appropriate, especially because it is Monday, the day Apple likes to use for operating system updates. These usually appear around evening time Central European Time, we estimate 7 pm.
Of course, EE “leaking” is not a guarantee. Carrier settings sometimes become disorganized, for example if there are compatibility issues between iOS and a specific mobile phone provider. But that shouldn’t happen here, it’s a planned change in usage options. The fact that it now has to be removed is very annoying for affected EE customers, as this was a convenience function.
iOS 18.2 brings many improvements
iOS 18.2 is an important update for Apple. Apple Intelligence has a number of features outside the EU, including the Image Playground image generator and Genmojis, which can be used to create emojis using AI. In addition, the integration of ChatGPT into Siri has been released, you can release AirTag tracking to a limited extent for airlines and other third parties, you get a new download display for Safari and many other little things.
Along with iOS 18.2, Apple is also expected to update its other operating systems, including iPadOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2. The latter also provides access to Apple Intelligence in the EU, but only with US English language settings.
