Here's the *best* of what a 3.5 trillion dollar company with almost no R&D
expenditures (but Coca-Cola-like advertising budgets) can do for iOS 18...

https://www.zdnet.com/article/my-4-favorite-ios-18-features/
*My 4 favorite iOS 18 features make the iPhone a lot better*
*and more fun; but there are three things I don't love*

1. Control Center is now a juggernaut
2. A built-in Passwords app is finally here
3. Messages feels more like Slack
4. You can design your own home screen

A few more highlights (of which every other OS has had for years):
a. Mail gets categories
b. Calculator app becomes a math tutor
c. Phone call recording
d. Call transcriptions
e. Capture audio in Notes
f. Lock an app

The three things I don't love
A. No Apple Intelligence
B. Photos redesign misses the mark
C. Journal app is still iPhone only

This is what you get after an entire year of development from a company
whose advertising budget is very many times what their puny R&D spend is.
