Apple's well-known whistleblower, Mark Gurman, wrote in his latest "Power On" newsletter that Apple considers its iOS 18 system "ambitious and eye-catching" internally. Gulman believes that Apple's next generation software - the upcoming release of iOS 18 and other operating systems next year - is more critical than ever. Apple's goal is to introduce "major new features and designs" for iOS 18, with significant improvements in performance and security.
