iOS 18 will launch next week with new ways to customize your homescreen

Apple has revealed the launch date for iOS 18 — and it’s just days away. The update, which will add new ways to customize your iPhone’s homescreen and lockscreen, arrives on September 16th.

However, this update doesn’t include the Apple Intelligence features coming to the iPhone 15 Pro and across the iPhone 16 lineup. The upcoming tools will help you rewrite and summarize text and generate images through the AI-powered Image Playground. Alongside a more conversational Siri, these features are going to start arriving in the iOS 18.1 public beta in October.
