iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 Unveiled with Advanced Features
iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, whose features have largely been experienced through beta versions until now, have finally been introduced. Announced alongside the iPhone 16 series, the new versions of the operating systems stand out with advanced artificial intelligence, writing tools, Genmoji, and dozens of other features.
The artificial intelligence features, announced as Apple Intelligence, were experienced with the iOS 18 beta version for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, and have now been fully transitioned with the iPhone 16 series. iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 offer customized artificial intelligence features that can create text based on personal preferences and usage habits, summarize long texts, and more.
With Genmoji, special emojis can be created with the help of artificial intelligence, and personal memory films can also be made. Siri also benefits from these updates, offering improved language understanding and better use with personal preferences.
The new Calculator feature for iPads, now included with iOS 18, provides advanced functionalities. It can now handle not only mathematical expressions and graphics but also basic and scientific calculations more easily. The update also brings a new look to app icons, with options for customization and color. Additionally, the locked and hidden apps feature is also available.
With iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, photos can now be organized by themes, and your photo archive can be automatically sorted into categories like Recent Days, Trips, People, and Pets to help you find what you’re looking for faster.
