Apple’s long-awaited iOS 18 comes out today, mere days before iPhone 16. Here are the major changes you should look forward to.
After months of hearing about Apple working on the biggest iOS update ever, it’s finally here. Yep, iOS 18 rolls out today across millions of iPhone models across the globe. But what are the major features you should look forward to and is your iPhone even eligible?
The update will come out on the iPhone XS and every iPhone that came after. In short, if your phone is already running iOS 17 you’re going to get iOS 18 as well. So, let’s take a look at the major features coming to your phone.

Apple has finally done it. It took the company a decade to get to this point but iPhone users will now finally be able to arrange their home screen as they like. But not just that, Apple’s spoiling its user base by even allowing them to customize how their app icons look as well. It took a lot of courage but you now have a customizable home screen on iPhone. I’ll cross my fingers for a universal back gesture next.
Apps can be hidden and locked
Jokes aside, this one’s actually a very welcome addition. You will now be able to hide and even lock apps on your iPhone. Much like with hidden apps on Android 15, iOS 18 will also mute notifications from hidden apps and prevent said apps from showing up in searches.
