Following the iPhone 16 event on Monday, Apple published a PDF on its website with a list of all the new features and changes in iOS 18.
The list includes many previously announced features, including Apple Intelligence, new customization options for the Home screen and Control Center, a redesigned Photos app, several improvements to the Messages app, a Passwords app, and more.
According to Apple, the first Apple Intelligence features will not be available until iOS 18.1, which is due to be released in October. Apple Intelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or any iPhone 16 model with the device and Siri language set to US English, with support for additional languages to follow over the course of the next year.
The list also includes some smaller features and changes that were previously less known or unannounced, such as the following:
- CarPlay now supports Spatial Audio in compatible vehicles. This works with Apple Music and select third-party apps.
- Spatial Audio is now also supported when you use AirPlay to stream audio to a HomePod and select third-party AirPlay-compatible devices.
- You can now add Wi-Fi-based Matter accessories in the Home app and control them locally without the need for a Home Hub.
- iOS 18 expands Live Voicemail to more languages and countries, including English (UK, Australia, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Puerto Rico), Spanish (US, Mexico, Spain, Puerto Rico), French (France), German (Germany), Japanese (Japan), Mandarin (China, Taiwan, Macau), Cantonese (China, Hong Kong, Macau), and Portuguese (Brazil).
A similar list of all new features is also available for iPadOS 18.
Apple said iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 will be made available to the general public on Monday, September 16.
