Apple reportedly delays Image Playground and Genmoji until iOS 18.2

Apple’s image generation features may not arrive until iOS 18.2 is released, according to rumors. The latest edition of the Power On newsletter states that the ability to create Genmojis and use the new Image Playground feature will only be available later this year.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggested that it is unlikely there will be serious upgrades to the AI platform this year. Instead, the company may focus on changes to the handset itself. In July, ReadWrite reported that more advanced Siri features would be absent from the delayed release, as a full rollout is now stretching into 2025.
