iPhone users are in for a treat with the upcoming iOS 18 update, as reports suggest a significant overhaul to the customization options for home screens. Described as the most substantial update since the inception of the iPhone, iOS 18 is expected to introduce a more flexible home screen layout and a range of AI tools.
One of the key changes rumored for iOS 18 is the ability for users to create blank spaces, rows, and columns between app icons on their home screens. While the underlying grid structure may remain to ensure consistent spacing, this newfound customization could allow for unique layouts with varying arrangements of apps and empty spaces.
Android users have long enjoyed more extensive personalization options for their home screens, making this potential update a significant step forward for iPhone owners in terms of customization.
Aside from the home screen changes, iOS 18 is also expected to bring new AI features aimed at enhancing daily life management. Reports suggest that Apple is in discussions with Google to incorporate Google's AI model Gemini into the iPhone, indicating a potential collaboration between the tech giants in the AI space. Additionally, Apple has reportedly explored licensing agreements with OpenAI, hinting at further AI advancements in the upcoming update.
Apple has not yet provided official comments on these reports, but the company is anticipated to unveil iOS 18 at its annual WWDC event in June. The public release of the update is expected to follow in September, offering iPhone users a fresh and more customizable experience with their devices.
