  1. Privacy Enhancements:

    • Local Network and Bluetooth Access: There are improvements in transparency and control over access to local networks and Bluetooth (What’s new in privacy).
    • Locked and Hidden Apps: Users can now lock apps using Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, and hide apps from the home screen (What’s new in privacy).
  2. Device Management:

    • eSIM Setup: Users can now set up eSIM by touching and holding a QR code or clicking a link, making it easier to configure devices (What’s new in device management).
    • Private Cellular Network Payloads: iOS 18 supports multiple private cellular network payloads, enabling configuration for up to five private 5G or LTE networks (What’s new in device management).
  3. Customization and Controls:

    • New Controls API: iOS 18 introduces a new controls API that allows developers to create controls that users can add to their control center or assign to the action button on iPhone 15 Pro (Platforms State of the Union).
    • App Icons and Widgets: App icons and widgets can now appear light, dark, or with a tint, providing a consistent visual experience across the home screen (Platforms State of the Union).
  4. HDR and Image Rendering:

    • HDR to SDR Tone Mapping: Apple has developed a new reference wide tone mapping operator that preserves output quality better than the default one, reducing highlight clipping and maintaining color reproduction (Use HDR for dynamic image experiences in your app).

These updates reflect Apple's ongoing efforts to enhance user privacy, improve device management, and provide more customization options in iOS 18. If you have any specific questions about these changes or need more details, feel free to ask!
