Artificial intelligence everywhere
this seems to be the year of AI and Apple, although perhaps a little behind its competitors, wants to jump on the bandwagon. It is expected that in iOS 18 we will have many new AI-related features that will completely “invade” the system. Almost every app, Spotlight search engine or Siri will include new AI-related features.
Siri
Siri will be one of the big beneficiaries of the arrival of AI. There are rumors that Apple could launch a sort of Siri 2.0 powered by generative AI. This the new Siri should be more conversational, understand context and respond more reasonablyin addition to being able to follow a conversation and give much more defined answers.

Apple Music
Apple’s music application could be one of the big beneficiaries of the arrival of AI. It is said that would be able to create much more personalized playlists automatically for each user. Even by asking Siri for certain songs based on our mood, it would be able to come up with a more interesting music list.
posts
The messaging app could also improve significantly with AI. Among other functions we could have automatic replies and summaries of a group conversation in a few sentences to catch up in seconds.
Pictures
It seems that the iOS 18 Photos app could use generative AI for more professional editing of all our photographs. The iOS photo editor is very powerful, but with AI we may be able to quickly remove items from a photo or even change the background using generative AI.
Emojis with AI
One of the big new features of iOS 18 linked to AI would allow us to generate fully personalized emojis. Currently we can combine several emojis into one on the iPhone, but with this function we could describe an emoji and ask the AI to create it to our liking to be able to share it.
More customizable home screen
iOS 18 could take a leap forward in customization with some very interesting news. Beyond a possible design change in the style of visionOS, in iOS 18 we could have other completely new customization options:
- Icons wherever you want: iOS 18 will allow icons to be placed anywhere on the screen, leaving empty spaces between applications. Something that has never been possible since the iPhone icons have been organized from left to right and top to bottom since the first version of iOS.
- Change icon color: Another new customization feature will allow you to change the color of application icons to give them different shades. For example, we can make all social media app icons blue or green.
