September is an extraordinarily rich month in news for Apple fans. Next Friday, the four new smartphones from the apple company land in stores: the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max . And inside the bowels of Apple devices (both new and old) there are also multiple new features from a software point of view.
On Monday, revamped versions of Apple's various operating systems, iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, tvOS 18, and watchOS 11, were released and are now available for download. And those who are willing to download and install these new operating systems on their devices will likely notice a whole host of changes and new features.
There are hundreds of new features lurking in Apple 's conveniently retreaded operating systems , but the ones we review below are some of the most notable:
1. The Messages app will support the RCS protocol
The eternal dispute between iOS and Android is solved (at least in part) with the compatibility of Messages, Apple's instant messaging application, with the RCS wordpress web design agency protocol. In this way , users of mobile operating systems from Apple and Google will have an easier time sharing texts, photos and videos , since the RCS standard replaces the antediluvian SMS messages as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices.
3. Making notes will now be even faster
The iOS Notes app is introducing a new audio recording and transcription tool that makes it much easier for users to save notes on their mobile phone.
In addition, iWork , Apple's office suite, has been enhanced with new AI features that will allow you to automatically generate slides in Keynote and write much faster in Pages.
3. Increase security thanks to a new password app
The new standalone Passwords app stores all of a user's credentials, passwords, and verification codes in a single location . This data is securely synced via iCloud and is also end-to-end encrypted. Apple's new app is also compatible with Windows, so users can access all of their passwords from different devices.
4. Greater control over workflow in iOS 18
The iPhone Control Center features a completely updated interface that gives users the ability to create multiple pages and finally offers the option to group content. A new gallery also debuts in the iPhone Control Center that will allow users to accomplish tasks much more quickly.
5. Calculator and Smart Script on the iPad
Fourteen years later, Apple has finally decided to provide a calculator for the iPad. Beyond the conventional functions, the new calculator on Apple's mobile phone also includes the "Math Notes" function, which allows the user to write mathematical expressions by hand with an Apple Pencil and see them solved instantly as soon as they type the equal sign (=).
The Smart Script feature automatically improves a user's handwriting as they type and allows them to edit handwritten notes as if they were electronically generated text. For example, the user can highlight, rearrange or delete passages, which is particularly useful in the Notes app .
6. Increased productivity in appointment and event management and on the Freeform digital whiteboard
Reminders are now integrated into Apple’s Calendar app , making it easier for users to create, view, and edit reminders alongside events they create in their calendar.
In the Freeform digital whiteboard app, the new Scenes feature helps users divide content into sections, store it, label it and organize it in the order they want.
7. Improvements to video calls on the Mac
Used in video calls, the Presenter Overlay feature allows users to have participants simultaneously see them and the screen they are sharing using two different layouts (small overlay and large overlay). There is also the possibility of changing the background image in video calls and for users to upload their own images and choose them as the default option in their video conferences.
8. iPhone Mirroring comes to Mac
With this new feature, users can easily control the iPhone from the Mac and navigate through all of its applications using the keyboard and trackpad, which allow for actions such as zooming and scrolling through various gestures. Notifications on the iPhone are also displayed directly on the Mac screen so they can be managed from the computer.
