Apple iOS 18 coming soon, here is everything we are expecting from the new OS update for iPhone
Apple’s annual developer conference, WWDC, is just around the corner and the tech world is already hyping up the excitement around Apple’s new announcements, including the potential unveiling of the next iOS iteration – iOS 18. The new iOS is rumoured to bring a significant revamp to the iPhone and is said to be the biggest update for the Apple’s smartphone in iPhone history, according to Apple analyst Mark Gurman.
Let’s take a detailed look at what is expected with the new iOS 18.
Unlike the incremental changes seen in iOS 16 and 17, iOS 18 is rumoured to be a complete overhaul. Codenamed “Crystal,” the new iOS update is expected to introduce significant UI-level changes, potentially drawing inspiration from the design language of VisionOS. Speculations also suggest that Apple might bring design elements like circular icons, translucent UI elements, and a revamped control centre, offering users a fresh and modern interface.
But everything will not just be about aesthetics. iOS 18 is also rumoured to introduce a plethora of new features aimed at enhancing user experience and productivity. One of the most anticipated additions is the integration of AI capabilities across native apps and services. Though Apple might not introduce standalone AI features like Samsung, it’s likely to integrate AI capabilities into existing apps and services. Building on the groundwork laid by iOS 17, iOS 18 is expected to leverage AI to offer advanced features such as AI-generated transcripts in Apple Podcasts and improved conversational experiences with Siri.
Additionally, reports suggest that iOS 18 will bring improvements to first-party apps, such as the Mail and Notes apps, with the integration of generative AI capabilities. Users may soon benefit from features like automatic summarization and translation directly within these apps, enhancing productivity and convenience.
Additionally, with iOS 18, iPhone users communicating with Android users will benefit from the adoption of Rich Communication Services (RCS). This enhancement enables features like typing indicators and read receipts to function seamlessly across platforms.
