iOS18, the successor to the currentiPhoneoperating system, is due to launch later this year – and a new leak suggests that it’s going to involve some big upgrades to the user interface and to some of the apps you use every day too.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iOS 18 upgrade will “overhaul” some of the key iOS apps. Gurman doesn’t currently have details of what that overhaul will actually entail, but says that it’s going to mean upgrades to the stock Mail, Photos, Fitness and Notes app. That fits with previous leaks that suggested new voice and maths features were coming to Notes, but it’s the first indication of changes to the other core apps.
iOS 18: key upgrades to apps, interface and more
We’re expecting some form of AI-based assistance in Messages, better personalisation in Health, and generative AI assistance in productivity apps including Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Spotlight search and Shortcuts, er, shortcuts have also been tipped for some AI enhancements, and Apple is believed to be running the AI features on the device rather than in the cloud so it should be pretty speedy. In addition to some AI help, Messages will also play nicer withAndroidusers as Apple adopts the RCS messaging standard.
The other key feature – unless you’re aniPadowner who’s been counting the years since the tablet launched without a Calculator app; that’s finally coming this year – is more customisation of the Home Screen.
We’re expecting iOS 18 to be previewed at WWDC in May, with a launch later in 2024.
