iOS 18: 18 New Features for Apple’s New iPhone Software Update | WSJ

Apple just-released iOS 18, which lets you redesign your iPhone’s home screen, customize your Control Center and includes hidden features like locking apps, deleting numbers in the calculator and more. But not the new AI tools. Apple Intelligence tools are not available until iOS 18.1, but you’ll need an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 model.

Fun fact: the calculator app always had a backspace, albeit not a very good one. You have to swipe left across the numbers you typed.

ive been literally waiting for the text later feature just so i dont have to stay up to tell ppl happy birthday or happy new year 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

It's genuinely bizarre you haven't been able to move icons around until now.

OMG! Finally all the things I have suggested for iPhone on iPhone! I have cried about not having schedule messages for the longest! And the equation write out will be great! I love this!

[MartinJimenez]

You Never! Had to start all over in the calculator app if you made a mistake you could just swipe back 😂

[spartanx]

Woah hold up, how has no one talked about the eye tracking thing?! That's honestly super cool and I can't imagine how helpful this can be for folks with disability. I sincerely hope it works fairly well

[keziacarolinah]

I love the way you demonstrate and explain all features❤

[Beautiful-ModelBarbara-Hut-sj]

Joanna meets up with Craig and asks him to teach her about these features so that she can flex in this video

[abadeer]

finally the iphone is starting to become the android phone i left several months ago 😃

[Paulkjoss]

My iphone can do things my android could do 10 years ago now - stoked!😊

[blueutpala]

This was surprisingly entertaining. Good job wsj for picking this lady

[JAK_EDITS.]

I lol'd at "U2 continues to haunt"

good production on this too, innit

[niolss]

You missed The most important one! Dual language keyboard! Been waiting for this for 10 years

“When is the best time to send a txt message in a jitter” Home girl has never experienced anxiety. She is so free.

[lionelyoung]

Listen the privacy for apps and Face ID required is top notch

[please-wake-up-now]

I think the calculator update is a game changer! No more stress when I hit the wrong button 😂 Plus, that home screen customizability is gonna make everything feel fresh! Can't wait to mess around with it all! 🌟

[Blessindisguise]

RCS with andriod is a dream come true! Apple, FINALLY!! Thank you!! (Only matters most in America). 🎉

[EthelJung-jw]

That icon matching the background feature is a total knockoff of Google's material theming engine used in most Android phones.
