In what could be the most significant update since the inception of the iPhone, iOS 18 is set to offer users increased control over their home screen. Reports from Bloomberg suggest that Apple’s next software update will not only introduce a plethora of AI-powered features but also transform the way users interact with their iPhones.
One of the most anticipated features of iOS 18 is the ability to customize the home screen to a greater extent. While previous versions allowed for the placement of app icons and widgets, users were limited by the inability to create space between them. With iOS 18, however, users will have the freedom to move icons across the screen and even leave gaps between them. This marks a significant improvement in Apple’s next software update.
iPhone users have had the option to customize their Lock Screen since the time the iOS 16 update was released. With the upcoming iOS 18 update, users will receive similar personalization features, but with more potential. According to insiders, these customization options are the most significant features of the Home Screen makeover introduced by Apple.
iOS 18 is also expected to integrate AI capabilities into various first-party apps, including Siri, Gallery, Notes, and Messages. Reports suggest that Siri, in particular, will undergo a major transformation, while Apple Music is expected to receive new AI-driven functionalities.
Apple is reportedly in discussions with Google to incorporate the Gemini AI model into iPhones. For those unversed, Gemini is one of the first mini-generative AI models developed by Google. It is designed to power a range of new features on iOS devices.
The upcoming update is also expected to add RCS support to the Messages app. This will improve messaging between Android devices and iPhones, and there will also be some design changes.
Amidst ongoing antitrust scrutiny, Apple may introduce features such as app sideloading, enhanced iMessage integration for cross-compatibility, and support for third-party payment gateways. These enhancements could address concerns raised by the Department of Justice (DoJ) and promote a more competitive app ecosystem.
iOS 18 is set to take center stage at the upcoming WWDC 2024 developer conference, where Apple is expected to showcase a slew of new features destined for the iPhone and other devices. With its focus on customization and AI integration, iOS 18 promises to redefine the iPhone experience for millions of users worldwide.
