iOS 18.4 Beta expected soon: Smarter Siri, AI-driven notifications and more tipped

California-based Apple is reportedly gearing up to release the first beta of iOS 18.4, which is expected to introduce significant updates to Siri alongside further enhancements to Apple Intelligence. Historically, Apple has varied the release dates of its early-year updates, with iOS 17.4 beta 1 launching on 25 January last year, while iOS 16.4 beta 1 arrived later, on 16 February. This time around, iOS 18.4 is anticipated to bring long-awaited advancements to Siri, particularly for devices compatible with Apple Intelligence. Apple has also confirmed that iOS 18.4 will mark the first expansion of Apple Intelligence to a broader range of languages, including Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
