The iOS 18 hype train is building up speed.
Apple’s next iteration of iPhone software is set to be announced at WWDC 2024 in June, but as always, we’re learning a lot about it ahead of time. The latest scoop comes from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, who claimed in his latest Power On newsletter that four key iOS apps are getting revamped or redesigned for iOS 18.
Which iOS 18 apps are getting big changes?
According to Gurman, the following built-in apps are getting significant updates:
Mashable Light Speed
Unfortunately, Gurman didn’t go into specific details about what to expect from the aforementioned changes. However, that doesn’t mean we’re completely out of luck. Thanks to leaks and industry whispers, we can make some educated guesses. Recent rumors suggest that the Notes app could get mathematical notation and built-in voice memos, putting it more on par with Microsoft’s OneNote app.
Between that and a rumored partnership with OpenAI for on-device AI features, Apple seems to be building toward changes that could fundamentally affect how one uses an iPhone. Or, they could be features you use once and never think about again. We’ll find out later this year.
