iOS 18 is here, and it’s packed with features to help businesses of all kinds, from tradespeople to graphic designers. Available as a free update for iPhone Xs and later models, it introduces tools to enhance productivity, organisation, and communication. We’ve highlighted our favourite new features that can make a real difference in your business operations.

Schedule Messages with ‘Send Later’

Ever wanted to send a message at the perfect time, but it’s either too late or you’re too busy to remember? With iOS 18, you can now schedule messages to be sent at a specific time, ensuring that important communications go out exactly when needed.

Apple Mail Sorts Everything For You

The new Apple Mail app automatically sorts your inbox into categories, helping you focus on what matters most. The ‘Primary’ category highlights important emails from colleagues and clients while marketing emails and newsletters are neatly grouped for easy scanning. This intelligent organisation makes it quicker to find and prioritise key messages.

More Powerful Notes

Notes in iOS 18 have evolved to support business needs more than ever. You can now:

• Record audio sessions and generate live transcripts that you can search through.
• Perform real-time calculations directly within a note, ideal for quick number crunching.
• Use collapsible sections to simplify text-heavy documents, keeping your notes organised and easy to navigate.

All-New Calculator

The iOS 18 update brings an enhanced Maths Notes calculator, including unit conversion and calculation history. The new portrait mode for the scientific calculator is perfect for those in technical fields who rely on precise calculations.

Introducing Apple Intelligence

iOS 18 introduces Apple Intelligence on iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, using contextual insights to provide the most relevant and useful information tailored to your needs.

Enhance Your Writing with Intelligent Tools

Apple Intelligence powers new Writing Tools, which help you find just the right words virtually everywhere you write. With enhanced language capabilities, you can summarise an entire lecture in seconds, get the short version of a long group thread, and minimise unnecessary distractions with prioritised notifications.

Beautiful Images Created Just for You

Apple Intelligence offers powerful tools to enhance business presentations and communication. You can create professional, custom images and branded Genmoji that align with your company’s visual identity. Use the Image Wand to transform rough sketches into polished visuals that complement your business reports or marketing materials. Additionally, you can generate tailored video content based on your input, ideal for custom client presentations or internal communications.

A New Era for Siri

Siri, powered by Apple Intelligence, ushers in a new era with enhanced capabilities and a sleek new design. Now equipped with richer language understanding and the ability to type commands whenever convenient, Siri’s interactions feel more natural than ever. It can take action across apps, drawing on your personal context and deep knowledge of your device’s features. A glowing light elegantly wraps around your screen when Siri is active, and with a simple double tap, you can type to Siri from anywhere on your iPhone or iPad. Whether you’re learning something new or managing tasks, Siri provides step-by-step guidance with ease.

With Great Power Comes Greater Privacy

Business data security is crucial, and iOS 18 is designed with privacy at its core. The new Privacy and Security settings allow you to control the data apps can access, and Apple Intelligence processes everything on your device, so your information stays private.
