iOS 26 will integrate ChatGPT-5 into Apple Intelligence

Source: Apple

You can expect to access OpenAI's newly launched ChatGPT-5 model when iOS 26 rolls out in September. If Apple Intelligence through Siri can't handle specific requests, it will rely on ChatGPT-5 to help out. The new artificial intelligence model offers improved reasoning capabilities and coding tools, alongside enhanced voice interaction and video perception.

In its current form, ChatGPT can be used selectively within Apple Intelligence to handle tasks like document queries, web searches, and Visual Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro and later models. You can use these without an OpenAI account, but you can enable subscription benefits with an OpenAI account.

How to download the AirPods Pro 2's iOS 18 update

One of the new features we're expecting to get on the AirPods Pro 2

If you want to access the new iOS 18 features on your AirPods Pro 2, the update is already live. You're already updated if you see version 7A294. You can verify this in the AirPods settings on your connected iOS device. Of course, your iPhone must be updated to iOS 18 before you proceed.

If your AirPods Pro 2 hasn't updated, you can initiate it yourself. Listen to music for around 30 seconds. Afterwards, put the AirPods back in the case. If you see that the buds don't immediately disconnect from the Bluetooth menu, that means the update is happening. Keep the charging case closed and near your phone to finish the process. The AirPods Pro 2 will disconnect when the process is over.
