Apple has begun rolling out iOS 18.3 to all compatible iPhone models following a trial period. While it may not offer as many features as previous updates, it includes enhancements to Apple Intelligence, system adjustments, bug fixes, and security improvements.
iOS 18.3: What are the differences?
The significant updates in iOS 18.3 pertain to Apple Intelligence, which is now auto-enabled on iPhone 15 Pro with no Portuguese support yet, unlike the previous version where manual activation was required in settings.
The update modified the notifications summary by temporarily turning off the news abstracts due to reports of incorrect information being mentioned by the AI. Additionally, the summarized notifications are now presented in italics to distinguish them from other system alerts.
Apple enhanced the “Visual Intelligence” feature in iOS 18.3, introduced with the iPhone 16 series, to identify additional plants and animals and to include a poster event in the calendar.
The latest update includes minor changes to the “Calculator” app that allow users to replay the equal sign twice to repeat the previous math operation, along with artificial intelligence enhancements.
The most recent update addresses two issues: one causing the keyboard to disappear after using Siri, and another causing music to keep playing on Apple Music even when the app is closed.
iOS 18.3 addresses 25 security flaws, with one being actively targeted.
