Apple’s upcoming macOS 15 and iOS 18 updates are rumored to bring several small changes to improve usability in the Settings and Control Center. Here are the details:
Redesigned Settings Menu
iOS and macOS:
- More User-Friendly Interface: Both the iPhone’s Settings menu and the Mac’s System Settings will be reorganized and simplified, making it easier for users to find the functions they are looking for.
- Improved Search Functionality: The current search function often fails to locate device-specific settings. For instance, the additional charging optimization menu in the battery health section of iPhone 15 Pro models cannot be accessed via search. iOS 18 is expected to enhance this search functionality, providing more accurate results.
macOS 15:
- Updated System Settings: For Mac users, the System Settings application will become more organized and accessible. Frequently used functions and features will be prioritized and made more prominent. For example, important options like software updates, warranty status, and Time Machine backups will be moved to higher positions.
Spotlight and Siri Updates
- Enhanced Spotlight Search: The iOS 18 and macOS 15 updates will significantly improve Spotlight search functionality, allowing for more comprehensive and effective system-wide searches.
- New Siri Capabilities: Siri will be equipped with new AI-driven capabilities, enabling it to control all features within apps. This will allow users to accomplish more tasks through Siri.
Control Center Changes
- Redesigned Control Center: iOS 18 will also bring a redesigned Control Center, although specific details about these changes are not yet available. More information is expected to be revealed at the WWDC 2024 event.
