Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said today that two more Apple Intelligence features for the iPhone are still months away. Gurman said in his PowerOn newsletter that Apple now plans to offer the ImagePlayground feature for generating images and the Genmoji feature for generating custom emojis in iOS 18.2, which may be released in December.
Here's how Apple describes ImagePlayground:
Create interesting and original images in seconds with the "ImagePlayground" experience within the application. Create completely new images based on descriptions, suggested concepts, or even people from your photo gallery. You can easily adjust the style and make changes to match your information theme, Freeform board, or slides in Keynote.
Here’s how Apple describes Genmoji:
Make brand new Genmoji right on your keyboard to match any conversation. Enter a description to preview it, then tweak it until it's perfect. You can even pick a person from your photo library and create a Genmoji that resembles them.
The first batch of Apple Intelligence features will be available starting with iOS 18.1, which may be released to the public in October. These features include new writing tools for generating and summarizing text, notification summaries, suggested responses in the Messages app, call recording and transcription capabilities, a new Cleanup tool in the Photos app to quickly remove objects from photos, and more.
AppleIntelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.1 or later. These features will initially only be available if the device language is set to English. Apple said it will launch more language versions next year.
