At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several new features for the iPhone with iOS 18. Here are some of the highlights:

  1. Multilingual Features: iOS 18 introduces a new multilingual keyboard that allows users to type in more than one language without manually switching languages. This includes support for Korean and English, as well as additional language support for features like live text and personalized numerals on wallpapers and watch faces.

  2. Home Screen Customization: Users can now customize their iPhone's home screen with app icons and widgets that can appear in light, dark, or tinted versions. This feature ensures a consistent visual experience across the home screen. (Platforms State of the Union)

  3. Security Enhancements: iOS 18 introduces a new registration API to transition users to passkeys, which are more secure and easier to use than traditional passwords. (Platforms State of the Union)

  4. Device Management: New controls in iOS 18 allow users to lock apps using Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, and hide apps from the home screen. Organizations can manage these controls on supervised devices. (What’s new in device management)
