Apple has begun rolling out iOS 18.3 Release Candidate (RC) code to a select group of developers and public beta testers, signaling that the latest version is nearing the final stages of its testing phase. This update improves the Apple Intelligence-based notification summaries feature and Visual Intelligence on select iPhones. Additionally, it automatically activates Apple Intelligence on iPhones compatible with it.
The move follows a recent SellCell survey, which found that 73% of iPhone users felt new AI features offered limited value.
What’s new
With this update, Apple moves closer to rolling out its initial suite of AI features. These include notification summaries, editorial support tools, Image Playground, Siri powered by ChatGPT, and Visual Intelligence.
Additionally, iOS 18.3 introduces support for robot vacuums to the Home app and brings back the ability to perform consecutive calculations using the equals button to the Calculator app.
Keep in mind that some features may not be available in all or all Apple devices.
