Are you itching to get your hands on the latest from Apple before the fall? Well, you're in luck! Apple has just released the iOS 18 public beta, and while it's not the final product, it's a tantalizing taste of what's to come. Beware, this beta is notorious for its glitches and crashes, so unless you're ready to embrace the unpredictable, it's best not to install it on your primary device. Nevertheless, I took the plunge and installed it on my older iPhone for a little tinkering. Here are my initial impressions of the new features that await us later this year.
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference back in June unveiled the details of iOS 18, but not all features are present in this beta. I've noticed that the photos app can be a bit temperamental, closing unexpectedly. A stark reminder that this is, indeed, a beta. iOS 18, however, offers a plethora of customization options that can transform your screen into a visual masterpiece—or a chaotic mess. The choice is yours, and so is the judgment for your design decisions.
The home screen now allows you to showcase a cool photo, surrounded by app icons. But be warned, this means fewer apps displayed. It's a delicate balance of aesthetics and functionality. And speaking of customization, the app icons can now be tailored to match your theme, with the option to remove app names for a streamlined look. Is this a sign of aging eyes? Hardly! We're calling it the streamline style.
iOS 18 also brings significant changes to the Control Center. You can now arrange shortcut buttons to your heart's content, placing the ones you use most front and center. Third-party apps can create their own control shortcuts, adding a layer of personalization that could surprise you. However, navigating through the four pages of controls can be a bit cumbersome, and I found myself wishing for a Bluetooth button that's currently MIA.
The connectivity page has been reorganized, and while it's more comprehensive, it requires an extra tap to access Bluetooth settings. Here's hoping that this oversight is corrected in future updates.
The photos app has received a facelift with a new layout that'll take some getting used to. The rearrangement into one big page of content, memories, and settings eliminates the bottom row of icons. My personal photos app is a chaotic mess, filled with screenshots and reminders, but the new filtering options make it easier to find what you need. Whether it's narrowing down to favorites or removing screenshots, the app offers multiple ways to customize your experience.
While the beta version is far from perfect, it gives us a glimpse into the future of iOS. Features like Safari's article summaries, the ability to write out math problems with your finger, and the new passwords app are intriguing. As more beta updates roll out, there's a lot to look forward to, including the potential for a cleaner, more organized home screen.
If you're eager to explore iOS 18 early, you can sign up for the Apple beta software program. But remember, patience is a virtue. The full version will be worth the wait. In the meantime, I'll be managing two iPhones, one on iOS 18 and one on 17, living the tech reporter life. Have you tried the beta? Share your thoughts and let me know what features you're excited about as we move closer to the official release.
