Apple Announces iOS 18 With New Customization Features, Redesigned Photos App, and More

No update for Siri!? Siri is literally the worst voice assistant on the market. I can't believe Apple let Siri get this bad. Yet, there were no updates announced to improve Siri. Unbelievable 🤦♂️

That’ll be the one more thing -
But seriously - wtf does the whole Apple software dev team work on…these are such iterative updates.
I think we say it every year, but this was the most boring iOS update
Photos redesign looks bleah. I like having the tabs on the bottom to switch between views. I hope the final version is better than what we saw.
Think Tim said at the start they’ll go over the updates then go back to AI. Can’t remember his exact words.
Edit: "Then we'll dive deeper into Intelligence."
How is no one talking about Messages via satellite? Probably the biggest fundamental feature of a mobile phone in recent years. Maybe in the past decade?
The AI announcement must be big cuz this one feels rushed.
Have you been paying attention? They’re talking about it last. they mentioned it in the beginning.
The photos refresh is fine, but those panels/grids kind of ui works for the test phone there that has 35 pics in the library. I have over 100,000 straight vertical scrolling is way better than paging (what, jump to page 13,000?). Text formatting in messages will be helpful, until people go nuts but app icon tinting is a total nothing burger. I mean I guess if you are colorblind being able to recolor things to be memorable to you makes sense, but the whole point of icons is to be a memory trigger…
Right... I'm pretty sure that's the reason we are all watching, Tim Cook will never be like Steve Jobs, no wonder nothing Huge has come out of apple lately.. They're probably having ChatGpt be the new innovator of apple ideas..
The new control center is so ****ing ugly.. especially in editing mode..
The design.. the UI.. the animation.. they all suck. None of them feels iOS like. And circle button next to rounded rectangle.. wtf

I’m not sure what there is to talk about now. It’s not built into the updates or they would have shown it off. I guess we will see.
Sorry, but what is innovative about iOS 18? It was the shortest iOS keynote ever, and not much was announced. Where's all the AI we've heard about for months? Apple has officially lost their touch. I wish they'd actually listen to their users and customers. I've already lost interest and turned off the keynote. Here's to hoping iPhone iPhone 16 pro models are better, otherwise Apple has let a lot of us down this year.
Omg. You can control someone else’s iPad and iPhone. This is perfect for us that have older parents.
Yeah, it took Apple since the start of iOS but at least they polished the hole "you can place icons anywhere" feature.
Anyway is seems like Android users are as lucky as leprechauns then.
The new updates on iPadOS are much than the iOS features... The Calculator App was long overdue, they spent more time on recording this keynote then the updates...
if you think you're useless, remember that there is also wwdc24
Ha, Ha, Ha! iPhone mirroring to Mac. Many wanted iPads to run Mac OS. Well instead you can run iOS via your phone on your Mac. I guess that is what they call "reverse engineering" at Apple!
