iOS 18.2 Expands Apple Intelligence Language Support

iOS 18.2 introduces localized English support for Apple Intelligence in five new regions: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK. This allows users in these regions to utilize AI features without changing their system language to US English, as was previously required with iOS 18.1.
