Well, this is top.
The author MacRumors collected the main functions of the future operating system for the iPhone. Some of them have been known about for a long time (it must be recalled), some of the options are purely exclusive.
We collected everything we know.
We consider the most important option to be the ability to download applications to iPhone and iPad, bypassing the App Store. This feature will not be added because life is good: in the EU, Apple has long been reproached for monopolizing the application market on its devices. Also recently became knownwhich is required to allow sideloading in Japan.
Plus, you can download applications that have not been moderated by the service (for example, Sberbank.Online). The downside is that it is easier to embed a virus into unverified applications. There is a possibility that Apple will roll out this option not worldwide, but only in Europe and a number of regions.
The second most important feature is “Protection of a stolen device.” It works like this: a thief steals your phone and tries to guess or reset your password. But in lost mode, the device can only be unlocked using Face ID or Touch ID; a digital password is not accepted. This feature will appear in the next versions of iOS 17, but will be fully added to the release of iOS 18.
The third option is support for the RCS messaging standard on iPhone. This standard works over the Internet, not a cellular network, that is, it will essentially allow you to communicate via iMessage with Android users for free. Currently only iPhone owners have this opportunity.
iOS 18 will also add updated CarPlay, shared Apple Music playlists, a quick connection function to TVs in hotels, and other features. The new OS will be announced in the summer, the public version will be released in the fall.
