the iOS 18 In fact it’s a pretty big upgrade for iPhone Who will support him?See all devices here) is expected to bring many visual and functional goodies, many of which Android users have enjoyed for years, but many others are from well-known Apple interventions.

It’s not just a renewed one Control Center, New buttons, aesthetic interventions you’ll make to system (aka Android) icons, or even super advanced Siri And the apple intelligence, That is, Apple’s artificial intelligence, which will come from OpenAI. There are many other small features, which are usually hidden in the iOS UI but are also very useful features, which can make your life easier in some cases. Without further ado, we have collected these 6+1 features and presented them to you.

Change the intensity of the lens

As you saw in the video, one of the hidden but very useful new features of iOS 18 is the improved lens. This means that the user interface in the flash control center has changed and features not only dimming but also the ability to change the size of the light beam from very narrow to wider illumination.

Control your iPhone with your eyes!

Just what the head really says! One of the crazy new features in iOS 18 is controlling your iPhone with your gaze. Thanks to the new eye-tracking technology in the FaceID camera, you’ll be able to control iPhone where your gaze falls, reminiscent of the eye control feature found in Apple Vision Pro. This feature can also help many people with disabilities.

Eye tracking in iOS 18! 😳

Here’s a live demo of me using it.

It’s crazy that it only works with the Face ID camera, and there’s no special eye-tracking technology like the Vision Pro. pic.twitter.com/64skCUn2Z3

Share Wi-Fi codes with QR code

Another feature that Android users have been taking advantage of for many years. As easy as sharing the code with Airdrop seemed, pairing was difficult. Let’s not laugh, there have been many times when you want to give your friend’s Wi-Fi password but his iPhone stubbornly refuses to accept it. Now, with this comprehensive solution, Apple provides an easier way to get the difficult password for the router at your friend’s house, which has never been changed, without asking you to “look under what it says.”

Now with iOS 18, it’s possible to generate a QR code from any Wifi network you’re already connected to. Previously, we had to use the Shortcuts app on iPhone, and now it has become more practical

Password manager

Are you familiar with password storage apps like LastPass? If not, Apple has arranged for every iPhone user for free, iOS 18 will bring the addition of “Passwords”, the application in which there will be all the keys, usernames and passwords that you want to save, classify and secure. Another reason not to have the “Where’s my password” and “Oh, I forgot my password” excuses.

Solve equations by writing them

With the updated Calculator app for iPad, you won’t be able to perform simple operations using buttons. Now the calculator turns into a table in which you can write any operation you want, even complex equations, and get the answer directly. It will also support currency conversion! But not only iPads but also iPhones running iOS 18 benefit from this.

The calculator probably got the biggest update to iOS 18, and I wasn’t aware of the currency feature pic.twitter.com/uSXa9XTfJH

The screen frame will “click” and light up

The small detail that Apple has hidden in the iOS 18 appearance changes is the interactive screen frame. So the screen frame can be changed with every press of the volume or action buttons, with a fun animation as if the frame was pressed. This may not be very important now, but it will be important in the future as future iPhones are rumored to have solid state buttons (like the action button) instead of the classic “click” mechanism. So, when these different buttons are combined, this animation will help the user understand that they are pressing them.

Now, that’s a nice new attention to detail in iOS 18.

When you press the volume button, there is an effect that makes it appear as if the screen frame is expanding. pic.twitter.com/BWbcSiDbi0

I really like the side button/little side frame animation detail in iOS 18. I wanted to see what it would look like if the screen content was pushed along with it. All distance restrictions are in @rive_app pic.twitter.com/k0fGklYyOF

New shipping methods

Instead of Optimized Battery Charging, which controls the iPhone’s battery charging cycles by charging it up to 80%, Apple will now offer more freedom and charging methods. This means that there will be new limits on the charging percentage, i.e. 80%, 85%, 90% and 95%. Offering these intermediate charge levels provides a more personalized charging experience and is an ideal compromise that improves long-term battery health without sacrificing all-day battery life. The 90% option in particular seems to be the most ideal option.
