WWDC 2024 is set to begin tonight at 10:30 PM IST. Today, Apple will put an end to all the speculations about the upcoming iOS 18 and reveal what it has in store. But until then, the curiosity will remain. Recently, a report said that Apple will put an end to all the speculations about iOS 18 and reveal what it has in store. MacRumorsSaid that Apple will bring changes to how dark mode appears on devices.

According to the report, choosing dark mode for iPhone will include a dark black color for home screen app icons. Basically, this will be limited to Apple apps and the dark black color will be applied automatically when dark mode is enabled. Apple may provide an API for third-party app developers to use that will allow this feature to work with non-Apple apps. This release may be similar to the feature we have reported earlier about the ability to customize app icons.

Changing the color of iOS home screen app icons could finally make it possible for iPhone users to customize their devices. Not just the color of the icons, rumor has it that users can also change the color of the apps. For example, by giving all news apps a certain color, and doing the same for social media, financial, and health-related apps, this feature would improve user experience.

WWDC 2024: What to expect

Apple has only revealed the timing of its keynote session so far. By giving away just a little bit of information, Apple is setting the stage for the big reveals. Bloomberg According to Mark Gurman, Apple’s AI approach will focus on practical features for devices rather than flashy displays.

Speculations are rife that the tech giant will ignore hardware updates and focus only on the software. The highlight of the event is expected to be the new iOS 18. This upgrade is certainly the most awaited one. iOS 18 is expected to introduce home screen customisation, new Siri version, generative AI features, and many other significant improvements. To provide more power to iOS 18, Apple has joined hands with OpenAI to integrate their chatbot into its operating system.

Along with AI, Apple is expected to bring several other features including home screen customisation, changeable icon themes, Control Centre revamp, and many more. Read about the new iOS 18 features except AI in detail. While all of these are major updates, one major change coming to the iOS 18 home screen is the ability to customise app icons. Although nothing is confirmed yet, this new feature will let users change the colour of app icons at a system-wide level for the first time. It is expected that during WWDC 2024, Apple will reveal more details about the functioning of this feature.

But when will iOS 18 become a reality? According to reports, the first public beta for this new operating system, iOS 18, should be released a month after the keynote, which takes the time to mid-end July. Traditionally, the tech giant releases a stable version of the update for all its existing devices a few days after the launch of its latest iPhone flagship in September. Users can expect the same for iOS 18.
