With the arrival of iOS 18 with new features, many sets of apps could disappear to the point of becoming obsolete. What could they be?
We are at a few days before Apple officially announces the launch of iOS 18 and other software updates presented at WWDC 2024. A lot of time has passed between beta and beta and very soon we will have a new range of possibilities to explore and enjoy. For some apps and developers, this could be the end or the reduction of daily users in terms of the use they give to certain public services. Those from Cupertino will integrate their own solutions that could prevent certain applications from being used to the point of becoming obsolete for some. Let’s see what types of applications could be considered obsolete when iOS 18 is upon us.
Password Manager Apps
Apple has made its password app officialso you can save your credentials and access keys in the Apple environment, regardless of the platform it belongs to. For example, if you are browsing the Internet and need to log in from an application, you can do so with the new Apple application.
In this case, It is very likely that many third-party apps like 1Password will see a decrease in user usage.. Although they might also attract less audience given that the password app will be available on Apple and Windows.
Calculator Apps on iPad
While it is true that today you can find a calculator application even in Google’s search engine, those from Cupertino did not offer an application dedicated to the iPad. Now that it’s official, it’s likely that many such apps will disappear from the App Store..
The Calculator app is getting a makeover in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 will allow you to switch from a basic calculator to a scientific calculator with just one touchin addition to having a measurement converter. It will also integrate a history to allow you to save previous calculations, thus avoiding having to open another calculator.
Math Problem Solving Apps
Along with having an improved calculator in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 as well We will have a substantial improvement that will be very useful for students and users who need to solve mathematical problems.. The feature that will help you is Math Notes. Just enter the problem and the device will solve it in real time within seconds.
Perhaps at this point the Third-party apps that let you solve math problems by scanning them with your camera may last a little longer in the App Storeuntil Apple comes up with the idea of integrating such a feature in the future.
Apps to record calls
This is something that those in Cupertino have obviously forgotten over time since this call recording function that will be in iOS 18 has already existed on Android for many years. Now, dedicated call recording apps on iPhone could see their days numbered and many users will do without them
In the iPhone Phone app, it will now be possible to use a function to record calls, which can also be transcribed. With the arrival of Apple Intelligence, you will also be able to make a summary of said event by highlighting the most important ones.
The iPhone will notify the person you’re having the conversation with that it’s being recorded, a very transparent way to implement the feature.
Apps to mirror iPhone screen
There are apps to mirror your iPhone screen to Mac but this will no longer be necessary.. Apple will launch iPhone Mirroring with the ability to use our iPhone and make it available from the Mac. It is as if the iPhone was placed in our Mac to be used.
The operation promises a lot since you won’t have to unlock your iPhone every time to use it.This is convenient for users who are almost one hundred percent dependent on their iPhone but also need to be careful with their Mac.
Grammar apps
In the App Store there are many applications dedicated to correcting the grammar of what we write every day. Perhaps the most popular is Grammarly, but this could change in a few days, weeks or months. Cupertino will launch Apple Intelligence in iOS 18 and other operating systems where AI will be responsible for correcting our texts.
It can be improved through suggestions, professional or informal tones, in addition to being able to summarize it and even add it to our emails. For now it will be at no additional cost, but one of the problems it will have will be its availability. It will only be available on iPhone 15 Pro and later.
Emoji and Image Generator Apps
As a final point, Apple Smart will allow us to create any custom emoji thanks to Genmoji. This can be done from simple descriptions. In addition, Image Playground will be integrated and will benefit from AI to create drawings, sketches or images through instructions.
Apps dedicated to designing emojis or images of this type could disappear once iOS 18 releases this pair of new functions. Many could stay on old devices but it depends on their renewal or obsolescence.
What other apps do you currently use that you think might disappear with the arrival of iOS 18?
