Two press releases and five new OS releases top today’s Apple headlines.

First up:

Starting today, with the availability of iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4, Apple Intelligence features are now available in many new languages, including French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (simplified) — as well as localized English for Singapore and India — and are accessible in nearly all regions around the world.

In addition, iPhone and iPad users in the EU have access to Apple Intelligence features for the first time, and Apple Intelligence expands to a new platform with an initial set of features available in U.S. English with Apple Vision Pro […]

The second press release offers more details on “the first set of powerful Apple Intelligence features” for Vision Pro:

visionOS 2.4 is available today, bringing the first set of powerful Apple Intelligence features that help users communicate, write, and express themselves on Apple Vision Pro […] visionOS 2.4 also introduces the Apple Vision Pro app for iPhone to help users easily find new content and apps, and enhancements to Guest User make sharing Vision Pro experiences even easier.

Added are Writing Tools, Image Playground, Genmoji, Smart Reply, natural language search, Create a Memory Movie, plus—

Priority Messages in Mail, Mail Summaries, Image Wand in Notes, Priority Notifications in Notification Center, and Notification Summaries.

Apple Intelligence on Vision Pro is only available for US English.

Also available is the Apple Vision Pro app for iPhone, which:

offers a new way for users to discover new spatial experiences, queue apps and games to download, easily find tips, and quickly access information about their Vision Pro […]

Most useful, at least for me, are improvements to Guest Mode:

visionOS 2.4 lets users start a Guest User session on Apple Vision Pro with their nearby iPhone or iPad. To make it easier to guide a guest through the Vision Pro experience, users can now choose which apps are accessible to their guests and start View Mirroring with AirPlay from their iPhone.

This is a good start, and it’ll make it easier for me to share my Vision Pro with my wife, but Vision Pro desperately needs a real “multi-user” experience, like Mac has had for decades—but which iPhone and iPad have never gotten. A $3,500 device needs to be shareable within a household.

Five OS Updates

Enabling all of these new features are five new OS updates: iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, macOS 15.4, tvOS 18.4, and visionOS 2.4.

In addition to the above-noted features, these releases also add Apple News+ Food, eight new emoji (the Face with Bags Under Eyes may become my personal avatar) and a whole host of “bug fixes and enhancements.”
