iOS 18 will give the biggest change to the iPhone home screen

The iPhone operating system is growing excessively, because in just a few months we have received many updates that little by little are incorporating functions that were previously unthinkable, but that are now possible thanks to the new accessories that are added to the phones. And with the imminent arrival of iOS 18there has been talk about a new addition to the home screen, which if it turns out to be true may imply the evolution towards something really important in Apple cell phones.

These are neither more nor less than modifications to the home screen, first including the classic application grid that has not changed much to this day, and it is mentioned that it will no longer be mandatory, so it can now be left empty if the user wants it. For those familiar with Manzanait is well known that you cannot leave empty spaces since it must be occupied by some application or a set of them in one of these boxes, but now the restriction will not exist.

The second mentioned addition is the possibility of placing colors on the application icons, which will make it easier for the user to distinguish certain types of applications just by seeing the silhouette, so it can go from blue to social, red for games and green for tools like the camera and calculator, for example. This will help the user to be more organized by the content that he downloads to his cell phone.

Regarding the discharge date for iOS 18is not yet completely clear, but it is presumed that it will be before the end of this year, in fact in the month of June the company will be having a new event where we will presumably see the announcement of the iPhone 16, so it could be the perfect scenario to make the operating system reveal. For its part, it is expected that from model 11 onwards it will still be possible to lower it and that with X unfortunately there will no longer be an opportunity.

Author’s note: The truth is I don’t care a little about the organization of icons, since it’s not even an impossible task to search for certain applications. Let’s hope there are really new things when version 20 is present in later years.
