When Will the iOS 18.2 Stable Update Be Released?

To clarify, Apple has already rolled out the iOS 18.2 developer beta, meaning you can access it now if you are willing to live with a few bugs. However, if you want the update in stable capacity, you may have to wait a month or two after the iOS 18.2 release—before it is officially released. That said, if you wish to update to iOS 18.2 for Apple Intelligence, you will need the following devices: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, and iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.
