We are at the gates of one of the most important Apple events of the year and these are the latest rumors about iOS 18
In just a few hours Apple has scheduled the inaugural WWDC24 conference and in it the company will present new operating systems for all its devices, including iOS 18 for the iPhone. And in recent days, important last-minute leaks have appeared about the possible news that we will see on the iPhone thanks to iOS 18.
The truth is that, at this point, we already know many new features of iOS 18 that some have called one of the most important updates of recent years. AI will be everywhere, although we will also have many hours of improvements.
New Control Center on iPhone
We know that the design of iOS 18 will be modified in many waysFor example, we can place the icons with empty spaces between them for the first time in the history of the iPhone. But it also seems that we are going to have a major redesign of the Control Center, which has not been modified for many years.
The iPhone Control Center has barely changed in recent years
As confirmed by Mark Gurman, the iOS 18 Control Center will modify the music playback widget and we will also have improvements in the way our smart home accessories appear connected to HomeKit. We’ll see how the music widget changes, as it could change the entire look of Control Center.
Effects in the Messages app
The Messages app may come with quite a few new features in iOS 18. On the one hand, Apple is expected to make it compatible with RCS technology, making sending messages with Android smartphones easier. But Messages is also expected to be one of the ones with the most artificial intelligence functions, being able to respond for us or summarize the conversation for us.
It is expected that Apple improves the Messages app with new text effects, which would be added to the current effects we have in iMessage. Apple could also add formatting options in bold, italics and underlinedas we have in other popular messaging apps.
Redesign of the iPhone Settings section
Over the years The iPhone Settings application has been filled with different sections and is increasingly extensive, to such an extent that it is really difficult to find where to change some settings. And for that reason Apple has in mind to give it a new design in iOS 18.
This information again comes from Mark Gurman who assures that the iOS 18 Settings app will have a “reorganized and cleaner design”, although he hasn’t said much more. This redesign will also be extended to the Settings app in iPadOS 18 and macOS 15.
News in the Mail app
It looks like the Mail app will receive major improvements driven by new AI capabilities. These improvements include a More powerful search, generative smart responses, and email composition assistance. AI seems to be going to be in a multitude of iPhone applications.
New app dedicated to passwords
In the iPhone Settings app we have a section dedicated to passwords from which we can access all the apps stored in our iCloud Keychain. And it seems that both iOS 18, like macOS 15 and iPadOS 18, will include a dedicated Passwords app. The app will have different categories for accounts, Wi-Fi networks and Passkeys.
We are a few hours before the official presentation of iOS 18 at the inaugural WWDC24 conference that Apple will hold at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, June 10, 2024. From iPadizate we will follow the keynote live and tell you everything that the company presents at one of the most important events of the year.
