 This is CNET, and here are the stories that matter right now. Apple released the first public beta for iOS 18 on July 15. Apple said the update would bring many new features to your iPhone, including updates to messages and more ways to personalize your lock screen. But one big change is all the ways you can customize your home screen. With iOS 18, beta testers and developers can remove app labels, change the color of apps, arrange apps around the screen in new ways, and much more.
