iOS 18 won't be released until the fall. But we will already have a clear idea of the new iPhone operating system from June. Indeed, it is generally during his conferenceWWDC, in June, that Apple presents its new operating systems, before launching the beta versions. In any case, while waiting for this presentation, the rumors are already numerous.
For example, in an article published this week, the MacRumors site relays an Israeli publication (The Verifier) which discusses the aesthetic changes that Apple could make on iOS 18. In summary, while it has just launched the Vision Pro headset, Apple could modify certain elements of iOS so that they recall the interface ofvisionOSon the mixed reality headset.
Among the elements that would be affected by these changes, there would be the menus of iOS 18, but also Apple applications, such as Safari. And iPadOS would not escape these changes. Apple could indeed integrate a translucent navigation bar similar to that of Apple TV. But, as usual, the information should be considered with caution, since it does not come from an official source. Furthermore, according to MacRumors, the source she relays has been wrong in the past. But, at the same time, it would be logical that Apple would want to have fairly similar interfaces on its different platforms.
A major update for the iPhone
In any case, the iOS 18 update should be important. Some sources even indicate that it could be the most significant update for the iPhone. It is normally via this update that Apple should introduce its new features based on generative AI, in order to compete with those that Samsung presented for the Galaxy S24 series.
As a reminder, Apple has already confirmed that it is working on generative AI. And recently, CEO Tim Cook indicated that Apple will make a major announcement this year, related to generative AI. Additionally, rumors suggest that Apple is already testing a ChatGPT competitor, dubbed Apple GPT, internally.
And to compete with the AI of other tech giants, Apple could rely on a series of acquisitions in this area. According to an article published by 9to5Mac a few days ago, which relays data shared by Statista, Apple would have acquired more than 30 startups specializing in artificial intelligence in 2023.
