CUPERTINO - Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL). has introduced iOS 18, a significant update to its mobile operating system, featuring enhanced customization options, a major redesign of the Photos app, and the debut of Apple Intelligence, a personal intelligence system. The update, set to launch this fall, will allow iPhone users to personalize their Home Screen and Lock Screen with greater flexibility and introduce a new way to connect via Messages when Wi-Fi or cellular service is unavailable.

The redesigned Control Center offers quick access to frequently used controls and the ability to add third-party app functions. Users can also rearrange app icons and widgets on the Home Screen and customize the appearance of these elements. The Lock Screen gains the option to switch controls at the bottom, including an Action button for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users.

Photos will now automatically organize libraries into a single view and offer customizable collections. New text effects in iMessage aim to enhance conversations, and scheduled message sending has been added. Messages via satellite will leverage existing iPhone satellite capabilities, allowing users to communicate over satellite in areas without traditional connectivity.

Mail will introduce categorized inboxes and a digest view for easier email management later this year. Safari is set to receive a new Highlights feature and a redesigned Reader experience, while the Passwords app will provide a centralized location for passwords and security alerts.

Apple Intelligence is designed to offer new ways to interact with devices, including systemwide Writing Tools for text rewriting and proofreading, and Image Playground for creating images in various styles. Siri will also see improvements, becoming more natural and contextually relevant.
