I actually like iOS 18...and I acknowledge that Apple hasn't really innovated...but they really updated a lot of stuff and I'm impressed with all of these features! I guess I'm the only one?

[BrandonSwisher-bf]

Do you have to do that on the day of the update?

[TechNomadUK]

Android still reigns supreme. Still has more useful and helpful features and customisations is still far better. Still no on the fly ability to change ringtones using an MP3 file, still no way to change the height of the keyboard, still no way to completely hide apps using gestures or keypad codes and no way to do full page screenshot on a third-party browser or from an third-party app. I'll be sticking with Android forever thanks.

[DavidRutkin]

These are all old Android features, some of them very old features

[mannylucasny]

My android have had all these features for like 10 years now

As a saying in my country : you guys think that you discovered the tahini pie

[volcalstone]

Why not just get an Android phone so that you don't have to wait for features like splitting or floating apps? Why rely on Apple to tell you when you need something.

They even said you could move your icons down lower so it's easier to reach. We'll duh get it took then this long to realized this smh.

Im glad Apple is finally catching up tho. Also there was no mention of RCS at all other than that small insert in the summary page. Seriously Apple is butt hurt that they need to support it now so they're not gonna talk about it in depth at all. Just cause it's a great idea and they didn't think about it in the first place.

but type to Siri isn't new, I've been using it for years

[Jayden-lrmm]

Moving apps around seems a great feature, it’s not like we never had this before

[bnguyen]

Hi cnet, can we please have a series called “Scary Carey’s Ai rants”?

[dgreer]

On my iPhone pro wishing I’d never switched from Samsung tbh

[crazycrazysnakeman]

I’m struggling to come up with one thing I’ll want to use AI for. Your example of will I make it to the theatre on time. I can already find that information by looking at maps. I can already use Siri to set alarms. It already creates photo albums based on trips

ios android update: Scheduling a text and editing the home screen in 2024😂😂😂😂

[TimedOut...NoWayo]

Apple said RCS and that was that. Nothing else - RCS.

[jacoblynch]

iPhone user here because I’m completely blind and I was trained on voiceover, however finally being able to put apps on a dag screen where you want them easily oh wait android always had that Apple finally catching up. I don’t understand why it took so long to get this basic functionality, how hard was this to implement? I’m glad it’s finally coming but wow finally

[BMarandonly]

“Shortcut” already allows scheduled texts. Had this for years.

[thisisjmx]

Finally. Instant messaging to those who have iphones.

[navaneeth_anand]

Finally, Apple made every apple user understand what they were missing, and they can now move to other products that are actually useful since they now support rcs

[GGori_]

The way Craig holds that iPhone is kind of he rarely used an iPhone..

[javtimestwo]

Apple should take a bow. Users should be excited about this upcoming update! #18
