Today, Apple released updates across all of their system software. There are not a lot of new features, but this is a huge maintenance update with lots of security, bug, and performance fixes, so I recommend everyone install them at their earliest convenience.

The next expected batch of features, including the much-awaited Siri upgrade and support in many EU countries, is expected in the .4 updates probably in April.

New features include:

  • Genmoji support on Mac

  • Improvements to Visual Intelligence on iPhone 16—add events to Calendar and better plant and animal recognition

  • AI summaries of News & Entertainment app alerts have been disabled because of complaints of unintentionally misleading headlines, to be re-enabled at a later date

  • AI summary notifications are now italicized to differentiate them better

  • Apple Intelligence is now enabled automatically, but if you prefer to turn it off, you can do so in Settings.

Today's software releases are:

  • iOS 18.3

  • iPadOS 18.3

  • tvOS 18.3

  • watchOS 11.3

  • HomePod 18.3

  • visionOS 2.3

  • macOS Sequoia 15.3

  • iPadOS 17.7.4 (only for iPads unable to run iOS 18)

  • macOS Sonoma 14.7.3

  • macOS Ventura 13.7.3

  • Safari 18.3 (for Sonoma and Ventura; it's built into today's Sequoia update)
