  • iOS 18.2 is expected to launch fully next week, December 9
  • The Hearing Test feature is coming to the UK, and other countries
  • Hearing Aid Mode only appears to be coming to the UAE this time

Apple has released the final release candidate for iOS 18.2, which means the much-awaited iPhone update is about to launch for everybody rather than just beta testers. The good news is that the useful Hearing Test feature, which helps you detect any suspected hearing loss, is coming to more countries – including the UK. However, the bad news is that this doesn’t include the actual hearing aid mode in most of these countries – just the test.

According to Apple’s release notes, the new hearing aid mode is indeed coming – but only to users in the UAE. While the update brings “support for the Hearing Test feature on AirPods Pro 2 in Cyprus, Czechia, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Romania, Spain, United Arab Emirates, and United Kingdom” it’s only bringing the hearing aid mode to the United Arab Emirates.
