Imagine navigating your iPhone or iPad using just your eyes—no touch input needed. That's the promise of Apple's eye-tracking technology, which will now be available on these devices. By leveraging the front camera and on-device machine learning, users can simply focus their gaze to interact with their screens. The best part? No extra hardware is required, just a quick setup procedure.
iOS 18 will bring a wave of on-device AI features that will significantly boost the intelligence of Apple devices. From auto-generated playlists on Apple Music to AI-powered writing assistance in Pages and Keynote, these features will operate directly on the device, without relying on cloud servers. Get ready to see AI enhancements in the Notes app, Photos app, and even in Siri, making your overall experience smarter and more efficient.
iOS 18 will also introduce a real-time audio transcription feature, allowing users to read, edit, copy, and share transcriptions with an expected summarization feature to follow. Additionally, a new innovative feature aims to reduce motion sickness for passengers using their devices during travel by mimicking the motion of the vehicle. And for music lovers, get ready to experience songs on Apple Music in a whole new way with the Music Haptics feature, translating music into tactile sensations for an immersive experience. Get ready for a whole new level of interaction with your Apple devices!
Apple traditionally releases new versions of iOS during its September event, coinciding with the launch of new iPhone models. During WWDC 2024, Apple is expected to announce iOS 18 and initiate beta testing for developers possibly to the public.
