At Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 keynote, the company revealed the next major iteration of iOS 18 for your iPhone. This is one of the biggest updates to the software in years, and it has cool new features like more home screen and control center customizations, RCS support in Messages, scheduled messages, and a slew of features powered by Apple Intelligence.

The betas launched without any of the big Apple Intelligence features Apple announced at WWDC 2024 — those are expected in beta versions for compatible devices later in the fall — but there’s still plenty to try out.

There are also slick updates to macOS that let you mirror and even control your iPhone on your desktop or laptop screen.

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.

Up until recently, the 1811 and 1812 quakes were considered “freak events,” said Martitia Tuttle, a paleoseismologist at M. Tuttle and Associates, an earthquake risk consulting company. Earthquakes occur when subterranean strain, building over centuries, is released in seconds. That usually happens near plate tectonic boundaries, where massive plates rub against each other.
