After the presentation of the new operating systems, Apple fulfilled 7 wishes of all users
After WWDC24, one of the most important events of the year for Apple, the company introduced many exciting new features in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and watchOS 11, including its own AI, Apple Intelligence. But in addition, the company has complied with user expectations by showing improvements that we have been asking for for yearswhich will soon be a reality for everyone.
Use iPhone from Mac
Apple has always prided itself on the interaction between the devices that are part of its ecosystem, being able to start tasks on an iPhone and finish them on a Mac, but it has never taken the definitive step. Thanks to iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia we can use the iPhone directly from our Mac.
This means that we can use Mac keyboard to write, trackpad to move and use iPhone apps on Mac. You can even receive and interact with notifications. The iPhone will just be another app available on your Mac’s screen.
Maximum customization on iPhone
For years, users They asked Apple for greater customization of the iPhone and, little by little, the company opened its hand. First there were widgets, then the lock screen and now Apple has taken an unexpected step with the iPhone home screen.

Users with iOS 18 will be able to place the applications where we wantenlarge icons and remove names, change icon color between a light, a dark or put them in the color that we like the most at that moment. With iOS 18, customization has completely reached the iPhone.
A smarter Siri
Siri was a pioneer of voice assistants but it has barely evolved in recent years, finding itself lagging behind its other competitors. But after several years without improvements, thanks to Apple Intelligence, Siri will become another completely new assistant.
Siri will be able to understand you even better, even if you correct the request mid-sentence. You will also be able to understand the context of what you are talking about based on previous inquiries. But not only that, but Siri will also know your contacts and conversations that you had with them. For example, you can ask Siri to show you a link that a specific friend sent you or to show you a photo of you and your partner.
Furthermore, and as Apple always characterizes itself, privacy is above all and most of these prompts are performed on the device itself, Siri will not send your data to an external server. Even with the integration with ChatGPT, privacy is assured.
Hide apps or protect them with Face ID on iPhone
Another request that has been on the table for many years. With iOS 18, we can quickly protect any app with Face ID without waiting for developers to implement it. Additionally, Apple also allows you to hide iPhone apps so that no one can see them. They will appear in a folder called Hidden in the App Library that can only be opened using Face ID.

Schedule messages
For some time now, you’ve been able to schedule messages on the iPhone using the Shortcuts app, but it’s not at all intuitive. In new operating systems, schedule a message is an option that appears directly in the Messages appso it’s much easier to do.
Remove or Change Access to iPhone Flashlight and Camera
Almost since Apple introduced the iPhone Users are asking to be able to change these shortcuts for others or delete them directly. And thanks to iOS 18, it’s possible.
On an iPhone with iOS 18, when changing the lock screen, we can choose which shortcuts we can put in these two little circles or eliminate them completely and nothing appears. This is finally an available option.
A calculator app on iPad
For some strange reason that no one could understand, the iPad didn’t have a calculator app. An application available on iPhone since its creation. But it’s over, thanks to iPadOS 18 the calculator arrived on the iPad and it did so in a big way, including cool features like math notes.
