This new beta brings a variety of bug fixes and performance enhancements for an improved user experience, along with a few noteworthy feature changes.

Here’s what’s new:

  • The Camera Control feature now allows users to open the Camera app even with the iPhone 16’s screen off.
  • New icons have been introduced for the upcoming next-gen CarPlay.
  • The AirPlay icon has received a slight redesign.
  • The ChatGPT icon in writing tools has had its AI glow removed.

While the list may be brief, this is expected as we approach the public launch of iOS 18.2.

As the December release date nears, Apple will focus more on addressing bugs rather than implementing new features, ensuring a stable version for public availability.
