IOS 18.4 is intended to be a big outing. The characteristic of the title of iOS 18 is Apple Intelligence, and the different features of the AI have been deployed piece by piece. After having obtained no new feature of major IA in iOS 18.3, Apple brings Apple Intelligence to many other countries in iOS 18.4 as well as a new device – Vision Pro.
However, the Siri planned update must wait. There are several major updates SIRI to come, including the personal context, the intentions of applications and screen reading, but they are missing in the first beta iOS 18.4. Instead, Apple says that Apple Intelligence “will receive additional features in the coming months, including enlarged capacities for Siri.” This probably means that the whole update has been pushed to iOS 18.5.
The beta iOS 18.4 version started on February 21 and we expect the final release in early April.
