Apple has just released iOS 18 with a redesigned Photos section, enhancements to Mail / Messages, and more home screen customizations. The latter includes being able to choose how the app icons and widgets are presented — light, dark, or with a colored tint — or make them appear larger for a more streamlined look.

A redesigned Control Center is even more flexible, boasting powerful groups of controls — including favorites, media playback, Home controls and connectivity, while a new controls gallery featuring options from third-party apps. Plus, users can access their favorite controls from the Action button and also change the controls on the Lock Screen. Photos’ redesigned layout puts the library into a unified view with new collections like Recent Days, People & Pets, and Trips that automatically keep the library organized with on-device intelligence.

Starting next month, iOS 18 will introduce Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that combines the power of generative models with personal context to deliver intelligence that is incredibly useful and relevant while protecting users’ privacy and security,” said Apple.
