iOS 18: What to Expect From 'Biggest' Update in iPhone's History

At least some Apple software engineers continue to believe that iOS 18 will be the "biggest" update in the iPhone's history, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Below, we recap rumored features and changes for the iPhone.

"The iOS 18 update is expected to be the most ambitious overhaul of the iPhone's software in its history, according to people working on the upgrade," wrote Gurman, in a report focused on WWDC 2024. Apple recently said that its annual developers conference will run from June 10 through June 14, and iOS 18 will be a key announcement.

iOS 18 is rumored to include new generative AI features for Siri and many apps, and Apple plans to add RCS support to the Messages app for an improved texting experience between iPhones and Android devices. The update is also expected to introduce a more customizable Home Screen and other user interface design changes, new features in apps like Apple Maps and Freeform, additional accessibility features, and more.

iOS 18 is rumored to have new generative AI features for Siri, Spotlight, Shortcuts, Apple Music, Messages, Health, Numbers, Pages, Keynote, and more, according to sources such as Gurman and The Information's Wayne Ma.

Should you be in the market for a new iPhone, you might want to wait until Apple introduces the 16. I am. No doubt earlier iPhones will support the iOS 18 update, but I expect new phones will have faster chips and larger battery storage to support the new Hoo-hah.

Apple phones are at best mediocre. I cannot begin to understand why so many people have them.

Recently I was listening to a conversation between two apple phone users about the absolute crap of those phones. So why do you have them?
