Video: iOS 18's Best Features

Since there was so much to take in at yesterday's WWDC keynote event, we thought we'd revisit iOS 18 and highlight some of the most exciting features that Apple introduced.

Note that we've left out Apple Intelligence, which is what Apple is calling the AI features that it plans to add. ‌Apple Intelligence‌ will be limited to Apple's newest iPhones, but the features we've listed will be available on older iPhones, too.

Check out our video and let us know what your favorite iOs 18 feature is in the comments below.

Apple Silicon is Taking an Unexpected Turn

Friday July 10, 2026 7:24 am PDT by
Ever since the Mac switched from Intel processors to Apple silicon starting in 2020, each generation of M-series chips has included higher-end Pro and Max variants. If a recent report proves to be accurate, though, that streak will be coming to an end. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will be releasing a regular M6 chip, but it has no plans to offer higher-end M6 Pro and M6 Max...

Wow. This update promises to give a lot of extra features that I always wanted on my iPad. Time to upgrade to a M2 or M3 iPad soon. I’ll wait a bit to find out how robust these features are though before I drop 1000 bucks on a new iPad. But I can see why the stock price went up.

This is easily the best iOS update of all-time, features wise. Not only is it adding a ton of new stuff, it’s fixing the everyday stuff like “screenshots in my photos”, my mom not knowing where her password is, easy cash payments, RCS…..let me repeat that….RCS. The list is really too long this year. Slow clap 👏 for Apple.

Mind you, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s buggy for a month or two, and neither should you. This is not an optimization update. As long as you have realistic expectations, it’s going to be a great update. Here’s hoping Apple nails it out of the gate.

It's nice to see Apple catching up to the early days of Cydia.

Hopefully iOS18 has fixed the bug where you pull your phone out of your pocket and the lock screen is an edit mode because you long pressed on it, it would be nice to have a separate edit button to activate that or only edit within the settings app. :rolleyes:
