In addition to the new Apple Intelligence features, iOS 18.2 also includes changes to the iPhone 16’s Camera control, a redesign for the Mail app, new features for the Find My app, and more.
macOS Sequoia 15.2 has been in beta since October, even before 15.1 was publicly released. That’s because it’s a sizeable update that includes a variety of powerful new Apple Intelligence features.
The upcoming iOS 18.2 update expands the hearing test feature on the AirPods Pro 2 to nine additional countries, including Cyprus, Czechia, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Romania, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, according to Apple.

With the visionOS 2.2 update that's set to come out next week, Apple is introducing the promised Multiview feature that will let sports fans watch up to five games at once.
In addition to streaming on Apple TV+ in over 100 countries at no cost, Apple Stores in select countries will also run the game on the big screen. Apple Stores in these four countries will stream the match for visitors:

While the future of the web may seem dark, we might take a cue from Pope’s response to the rise of print. For Pope, the proliferation of print genres and conventions entailed what McLuhan described as ‘the increasing separation of the visual faculty from the interplay with other senses’.
