With the new iPhones releasing, a new software update is also coming across iPhone models returning to the iPhone XR. So, here are some updates and features that come with the new iOS 18 software update. 

The first update/feature involves app icons. You can place your app icons wherever you want on your home screen in any order. But it doesn’t end there. Now not only can you put your app icons in dark mode but by using the tinted feature, you can change the color of your app icons. You can also use the color picker to pick and use a color from your wallpaper.

The second update/feature involves your control panel. You can change the way that your control panel looks. You can change this by increasing the size of the icons and changing the order of the icons. 

The final feature you can implement on your iPhone involves your lock screen. Normally, you will have the flashlight and the camera buttons on the bottom left and right parts of your lock screen. Using this feature, you can change those buttons to be whatever you want.

Overall, Apple has made many features to add new customization options and to improve your device's performance.
