iOS 18: What To Expect

iOS 18 is just a couple months away from being revealed by Apple. But there have been reliable rumors suggesting what features are likely to be included.
Starting with a new and improved Siri. Which will use generative AI to understand more complex questions and respond with more accurate and helpful answers.
This AI technology will also be used for auto-complete. So the device can finish your sentences more accurately and perhaps even learn your personal texting style.
Apple Music could create auto-generated playlists based on your own parameters. For example, making a playlist for a relaxing Sunday spring morning, or an energizing playlist for a fast-paced kickboxing class.
And these capabilities are likely to appear in iWork also. So you could tell Keynote to make a slide layout for three photos with a text caption beneath each.

Ok that’s nice, all that AI stuff .But also.. .set a MEMORY on the calculator app! Technicians like me need that! Also, make the NUMBERS ROW available on the keyboard. Also something CNC Technicians need!

[@realquadmoo]

I think they wouldn’t want to make the keyboard take up any more space which is why there’s a tab for numbers and symbols. Also, what do you mean by memory?

[@tanmay______]

just use desmos at this point

[@GAMERGEBITER]

@@realquadmooThe thing is i deactivated all word recommendatios but i still cant have a fixed numer row. Apple keyboard just sucks when you come from android, its the biggest downside to iPhone imo. Also, all other keyboard apps i tested suck. Gboard for iPhone is trash compared to the stock android Gboard.

[@inkedcreated]

@@realquadmoo Ok I get the numbers row, it’s still annoying not to have the option of turning it on and off. And the memory thing, when I calculate something and then 10 min in my work I have to continue from that specific point, I can’t start there. I must write the answer down and then type it in and start from there, or, I have to do the whole thing all over again plus the new stuff I want to calculate. With programming thats very annoying.

Dude this channel is awesome. Love the direct and clean presentation of this.

What?

[@DasGerecht]

As someone who has switched from Android to iOS, I would like to see on a future update: - Improved optimization for one-handed phone usage (opening the Control Center with one hand). - Enhanced gestures (such as a universal back gesture on both sides of the screen). - An improved keyboard + with a number row (similar to iPadOS). - An improved Notification Center and management. - More control on app display scalling - More customization options (more apps on the home screen, adjustable app sizes and shapes). - The ability to run shortcuts without it always opening the app itself. - Transparent widget options. - A flexible home screen (allowing placement of apps wherever you want). - A better camera app with a well-organized UI without having to enter the Settings app or a separate Pro mode. - Sideloading capabilities (similar to MacOS).

[@Tr4ns1st0r]

Shortcuts already don’t open the shortcuts app, they can run in the background.

[@DasGerecht]

@@Tr4ns1st0r Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. Unfortunately, the Shortcuts app still opens when the task was triggered by a third-party app such as Widgy.

[@marenoglas7572]

As a long time (all time actually) i switched to the iphone 14 just to try it out. I like that every app is optimized and works like a charm and the ui always feels smooth .However a few things are still bugging me… the keyboard feels slow for some reason, after almost 2 years i would’ve expect me to get used to it but i just can’t.😅 other thing is backgrounds. there is no nice background in my opinion and it just feels boring to choose a color.(im aware of custom backgrounds but i like stock backgrounds usually). And one other minor thing is when i end a phone call at the same time as the other person i accidentally call someone else because it just instantly goes away. On my samsung, oppo ,nokia and LG there would be a slight delay. Then i would like to see the settings sorted , little chaotic app that is. Overal i like it and i will stay at apple. also Since nokia isn’t making “high end” phones anymore and samsung shoves me the exynos chip instead of the advertised snapdragon.

[@anawaa-a4959]

all i want is more audio options. like my bf’s android lets you adjust the audio for media and calls separately. if we’re on facetime (on snapchat ofc) he for example would be able to listen to music or watch a video while still being able to hear me. but on apple you either go deaf cuz you want to hear a video and have to turn your phone volume all the way up and then if he talks it’s at max volume, or you’re able to hear the call but not the video. very annoying

[@ileydemir]

I really hope Siri will be better. Right now, it can't do more than listen to a question and if she understands gives an answer. A follow up is too complex apparently. Or opening one of the 3 links she is showing me.

[@shadowplayer1609]

Last year, after having first used a Windows Phone and then Android, I was convinced and decided to try an iPhone. All those explanatory videos, all the reviews, the marketing had convinced me. I got an iPhone 14, set everything up, got the hang of it, and considering I'm quite skilled in IT, the only thing I've realized from last year to now is that iOS is an outdated operating system, buggy, full of flaws, very slow, and things haven't changed for 10 years. The system apps are terrible, they force you to use the apps they want. I expected that the operating system, being made by Apple, would be better, but no, dear Lord, it's terribly buggy. So, the only thing I hope for iOS 18 is a damn major bug fix.

[@shadowplayer1609]

and dear god don't make me talk about the keyboard

I’m glad the SE 2 will be updated. But I remember after the update to iOS 16 (not iOS 17) my battery health went from the 80s (maybe 88) To needing to be serviced! I suspect the strain of the new iOS was too much for that small battery. Perhaps *after* iOS 18 update I’ll then get Apple to replace the battery in the phone and hopefully have a good battery and return to respectable battery life for the next two years
