What iPhone Users Can Expect from the Upcoming iOS 18 Update
iOS 17.4 beta was released earlier this month, but all eyes are already on the big iOS update that will be released later this year. The iOS 18 version promises to be a blockbuster update for iPhone users, not only because of the new features, but also its overall design might see a big change. Apple is planning something big with the next version of iOS, and here we tell you about the possible features that will be available to iPhone users in 2024.
iOS 18 release date
iOS 18 will certainly get an early look at WWDC 2024, which usually happens around June every year. Apple is showing off new features coming to new and old iPhones later this year. The official release of iOS 18 should happen together with the release of the iPhone 16 series.
Expected features of iOS 18
What does the iOS 18 update promise for iPhone users this year?
AI Boost for iOS
The biggest change we can see in iOS 18 is Apple’s entry into the world of artificial intelligence, like every other tech brand these days. iOS 18 could rely on generative artificial intelligence built into the device, giving Apple a distinct advantage over its competitors and keeping user data safe instead of storing it in the cloud. Samsung released the AI capabilities of the Galaxy S24 series in January with the help of Google, but Apple plans to acquire all the elements that can get its AI mission on track.
New look Siri
Now that Apple is looking to add LLMs to its model, Siri is an obvious choice to see improvements. We dare say that Siri needs a complete overhaul, and the AI under its wing could give it the Assistant touch that Apple was never able to provide. Making Siri sound more natural is a good idea, and if it gave the answers in a personalized way, it would give it a better chance of success. iOS 18 could see these changes and the new look Siri could promise a lot for iPhone users.
RCS for iPhone, finally
Apple has avoided getting into the RCS conversation for a long time, and Google has tried its best to change that. It will eventually happen, as iOS 18 could mark the arrival of RCS messages for iPhone users. RCS will likely be announced with the new version when it launches in September. RCS means that both iPhone and Android users finally have a message link that works across all platforms.
Apple’s focus on iOS 18 is expected to trickle down to iPadOS 18 as well, an interesting development in the coming months.
