According to Marques Brownlee, here's the best a 3-1/2 trillion-dollar
company with almost no R&D to speak of, can come up with for iOS 18.
<https://youtu.be/ArcI4A5nvBo>

I guess this is the best a company without R&D to speak of, can do
(in an entire year of development, this is the best R&D can do?)...

1) The Calculator
Scientific, math notes with graphical solutions, syncs across
your AppleID devices, changes variables, answers in handwriting
2) Little Things
Game Mode CPU priority, Photos App search, Shazam shortcuts,
RCS Support (in 2024, clap, clap), read receipts, typing indicators
3) Homescreen Customization
Finally. Kind'a. Icons can go anywhere, welcome to 2024,
Large icons, tinting icons,
4) Passwords App
Collected existing settings, sharing iPhone passwords,
Defaults to Face-ID, not platform compatible
5) Control Center
colorful, expanded pages, stretch size, more controls,
including flashlight intensity & beam width (fails),
lockscreen controls,

Given nobody in tech spends less than Apple in R&D, it's no wonder
yet again, as usual, Apple is five years (or more) behind Android.

1. Apple spends more on R&D than all but 3 or 4 companies.

2. Don't imagine that this is all Apple "came up with". Brownlee
explicitly states:

'Now, for this video, the one thing I'm leaving out is Apple
Intelligence stuff. That's like an entire separate bucket of stuff that,
to be honest, hasn't really been available for me to test in the
pre-release betas. So I'm gonna make a separate video just about that
stuff as soon as it's actually testable.'
