iOS 18 Review: Get Ready to Customize Your iPhone Even More

I started beta testing iOS 18 on my own iPhone XR after WWDC and then my iPhone 14 Pro in July when the public beta came out to see how the software works and feels in daily use. What I found in my three months with the software was that it gives you more control over how your iPhone looks and functions and it adds helpful new features to apps like Messages and the Calculator.

iOS 18 Is Out Now. Here Are the Best New Features.

Even if you don’t buy an iPhone 16, you can install iOS 18, which is out today, and start customizing your home screen in new ways, text high-res videos to your Android friends, and store your passwords in Apple’s slick new password manager. But as for all those AI features you may have heard so much about, those aren’t ready—at least, not yet.
