This fall Apple is expected to launch iOS 18 public preview which is a beta version of the software that will launch alongside new iPhone which will allow apple users and developers to test the newest features before they officially launch and identify bugs before all iPhone users install the new software.

Photos app has also been redesigned. Messages app has been made more colorful and a lot of emoji are added to it. Another new feature is that users can even change all their app icons to the same color. Apple is also opening up its rigid iPhone software design to greater visual customization, after last year’s release redesigned the device’s lock screen.
Some of the other features added in the iPhone are iOS 18 users with recent devices can send texts via a satellite if there’s no Wi-Fi or cell service. Safari will summarize news and other web articles, including generating tables of contents. These features are accessed using the button on the left side of the URL bar in Safari. To manage the passwords of the users, Apple has developed a new app named as Passwords.
