Between Apple Intelligence and sweeping changes to customization, Apple’s 2024 iOS 18 software upgrade for the iPhone is shaping up as one of its largest updates yet. Amid all the changes headed to iOS 18 is a complete overhaul of the Control Centre. A solid departure from the fixed pane approach of prior versions, Apple takes a customization-friendly, multi-pane approach with a twist. It’s astonishingly un-Apple-like in its customization potential while maintaining the very Apple-like focus on shiny aesthetics.
Now, Apple won’t release the update until later in the year, but as a tech enthusiast, installing the developer beta on my iPhone 15 Pro Max was the obvious thing to do. I’ve spent the last day exploring everything new with the upgraded Control Center, and I like what I see. So, without further ado, let’s dive right in.
