Is iOS 18 the biggest software update in iPhone history?

iOS 18 is expected to be unveiled at the WWDC event next June and this could be the biggest update for the iPhone with many artificial intelligence (AI) features.

According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, iOS 18 has the potential to be the "biggest" software update in iPhone history.

"According to internal sources, this new operating system is considered one of the biggest, if not the biggest, iOS updates in Apple's history," Gurman wrote.

Mark Gurman said he would reveal more details about the specific features and changes of iOS 18 in the future. But for now, the two most prominent new features likely to appear in the upcoming iOS 18 update are RCS support and a smarter Siri.

iOS 18 is expected to be unveiled at the WWDC event next June.

RCS support

In November 2023, Apple announced it would support the RCS cross-platform messaging standard in the iPhone's messaging app starting in late 2024. Therefore, based on this timeframe, it's highly likely this will be a new feature integrated into iOS 18.

RCS support has led to numerous improvements to the current messaging experience between iPhones and Android devices. These include higher resolution photos and videos , voice messages, read receipts, typing indicators, Wi-Fi messaging, improved group chat, and the ability for iPhone users to leave conversations with Android users, offering greater security than SMS.

These features are already available when messaging between iPhones via iMessage, as well as between third-party messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram.

Siri is smarter.

Gurman predicts that the iOS 18 update will feature AI generative technology, improving how Siri and the messaging app answer questions and complete sentences. The journalist says Apple is also exploring AI generative features for other apps across its platforms such as Apple Music, Pages, Keynote, and Xcode.

The Information reports that Apple is planning to integrate a large language model into Siri so users can automatically complete complex tasks. The feature is expected to be released in the 2024 iPhone update, i.e., iOS 18.
