- iOS 18.4 Dev Beta is here
- Siri’s great update is not
- There are some notable and possibly useful addition
Apple launched its first beta developer version for iOS 18.4, and lacks the largest and most probable Apple intelligence update of Apple more requested: the new and much smarter and useful Siri.
A great warning here: nobody encourages him to install a beta developer version on his best iPhone. These updates are intended for developers and ultra-features like me who are desperate to try the newest things. So downloaders, be careful.
Even so, the exclusion of what Apple Intelligence coronation characteristic should be is worrying. Apple began its trip of AI almost a year ago and has been implementing characteristics of Apple Intelligence from summer and until September with the launch of the iPhone line 16. Since then, there have been numerous updates, but Siri has remained frustrating behind. Of course, there have been smaller improvements as more applications, but the complete cognition of the system and the ability to participate in a conversational way that connects the indications with everything that the iPhone knows about you is still losing.
From what I can say, Siri in iOS 18.4 Dev Beta 1 does not change. Siri can still easily open the application of the camera in the command, but I ask him to open the camera and Take a photo, just complete the first task. When I ask you to analyze my calendar and emails to see if I have too much in mind, you have no idea what I am happening.
What you get
iOS 18.4 (and iPados 18.4) It does not lack improvements. The update brings a new news section+ Food, which Apple points out in a statement in the update will include “tens of thousands of recipes, as well as stories about restaurants, healthy eating, essential elements of the kitchen and more, of the best food editors of the world, including Allrecipes, Bon Appétit, food and wine, good food and serious meals. ” However, this feature was not evident, in this first beta developer, and Apple says that it will arrive in April for Apple News+subscribers.
Image Playground obtains a small update in the form of a new style of illustration: Sketch, which offers a visual exit that looks more like, for example, a color pencil sketch.
The update also promises the new Vision Pro application, a kind of utility, control and updating of information that gives you a clearer iPhone connection with the powerful and expensive usable mixed reality, which is also obtaining Apple’s intelligence.
Although this beta version is not bringing a ton of Apple intelligence updates, its launch marks a kind of expansion. The Marketing Chief of Apple Global, Greg Joswiak, tweeted in X that Apple’s brand is expanding to eight more languages on iPhone, Mac and iPad. The Vision Pro Apple Intelligence update will arrive in April.
Apple Intelligence continues to implement more languages and more platforms! It will expand to eight more languages on iPhone, Ipad and Mac and is ready to get to Apple Vision Pro in April. Developers can begin to explore these new capabilities today.February 21, 2025
I am sure that there are many other corrections and error updates, large and small, in iOS 18.4, but it is difficult to really get excited without the full version of Siri infused with Intelligence of Apple. It’s like having a donut full of cream, biting it and finding the missing cream; There is only an empty cavity.
Apple surely has one or two more important updates of iOS 18 to go before Cupertino calls us all for WWDC 2025 to talk about iOS 19 and the next Big Apple intelligence update. If Apple finally wants to deliver what Siri will finally be before, it is better to move.
