A new iPhone operating system with features from Android has been released

Apple has unveiled its new iOS 18 operating system for the iPhone, which finally got the long-awaited features previously available only on Android devices.

One of the key new features is the ability to fully customize icons and the home screen. Users will now be able to customize the layout of apps to their liking, as well as hide any apps behind a password or Face ID for added security.

Updates have been made to the built-in apps as well. The Messages app has received a number of useful features, and the Photos app has been completely redesigned - it now creates “smart” selections and provides additional options for cataloging photos.

The new game mode in iOS 18 deserves special attention. It allows you to maximize iPhone performance during gaming by reducing or disabling background activity of third-party apps. This should provide higher frame rates and stable battery consumption for gamers.

Overall, the iOS 18 update offers iPhone users long-awaited personalization and performance features, closing the gap with Android devices' capabilities.
