Apple announced the iOS 18 iPhone software update during the WWDC opening keynote on June 10 before making it available in the initial developer beta on the same day. We're still learning more and more about the update as people start to put it through its paces, including some tweaks that Apple didn't announce.

Not all of those tweaks are big or obvious, of course, and some of them are just interesting to note because they usher in the end of an era or the beginning of a whole new one. One example of that is a new report that iOS 18 beta 1 removes the settings for COVID-19 Exposure Notifications.
