Still using iOS 16, iOS 18 is coming, time flies so fast, Apple will show iOS 18 at WWDC24, if nothing else! The first beta will be available after the conference, with 24 days to go, less than a month.
The official version of iOS 18 will also be released a week after the fall conference, which means that Apple will definitely release the official version of iOS 18 in September.
When it comes to the new iOS 18 system, it is said that you can customize the desktop icons, but I'm not sure if there is, but I say that every year, and I also mention that some of the icons will be redesigned. I think the iOS 18 system should be an enhanced version of iOS 17, and the changes should not be huge.
In the morning of May 15th, Apple revealed some iOS 18 features in advance, and the news came from the press release on Apple's official website that the official announcement will launch a new accessibility feature later this year, that is, the new accessibility features of iOS 18, which is equivalent to an official announcement in advance.
-- What's New in iOS 18 Accessibility --
Mainly talk about five new changes:
- Eye tracking
- Musical touch
- New features for voice
- Vehicle movement prompts
- What's new in CarPlay
Eye Tracking:
Eye tracking gives users a built-in option to navigate iPad and iPhone using only their eyes. Designed for users with physical disabilities, eye tracking is set up and calibrated in seconds using the front-facing camera, and is easily controlled by on-device machine learning.
Musical Touch:
Music Haptics is a new way for users who are deaf or hard of hearing to experience music on their iPhones. When this accessibility feature is enabled, the Taptic Engine in your iPhone plays tappings, textures, and subtle vibrations based on music audio.
What's new in Voice:
With voice shortcuts, iPhone and iPad users can assign custom utterances that Siri can understand to initiate shortcuts and complete complex tasks. Listening to atypical speech is another new feature for groups that are inconvenient to speak.
Vehicle Movement Tips:
It can help reduce the symptoms of motion sickness among passengers in a moving vehicle. Research has shown that motion sickness is often caused by a conflict between what a person sees and what they feel, which can prevent some users from comfortably using an iPhone or iPad in a moving vehicle. With vehicle motion cues, animated dots at the edges of the screen represent changes in vehicle motion, helping to reduce sensory clashes without interfering with the main content.
What's new in CarPlay:
With the help of voice control, you can control the in-car application by voice. Detail Function: Drivers or passengers with hearing impairments can turn on the alarm to be notified by the car horn and siren. For colorblind users, color filters make the CarPlay interface visually easier to use and have additional visual aids, including bold text and large text.
-- Teasing What's New in visionOS --
visionOS's accessibility features will include system-wide real-time captions to help everyone, including users who are deaf or hard of hearing, follow along with spoken conversations in real-time conversations and in the app's audio.
There is also the national version of the vision Pro has been shown in the product regulatory database, showing that the vision Pro (A2117) and its battery pack (A2697) appear, which means that this product will be launched in China soon, will you buy it then?
That's probably it, anyway! Are you looking forward to the release of iOS 18? Please comment.
