The list includes many features that were already announced, including new customization options for the Home Screen and Control Center, a redesigned Photos app, several enhancements to the Messages app, a Passwords app, and more.

There is also Apple Intelligence, but the first features under that umbrella won't be available until iOS 18.1 is released in October. Apple Intelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model with device and Siri language set to U.S. English, with support for more languages to follow over the next year. Additional Apple Intelligence features are expected to roll out between iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.4.

A similar list of all new features and changes is available for iPadOS 18.
