Some users may not be familiar with this, but Apple sets size limits for iOS and tvOS apps, so that a single app can’t take up too much space. However, as apps and especially games get more advanced, they also get larger and require more storage. Because of this, Apple is increasing the size limits for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV apps.

Developers can now create larger apps and games for iOS 18 and tvOS 18

Every summer, Apple runs a beta program to help find bugs and get feedback on features for its upcoming operating system releases. There’s a lot of great stuff to look forward to in iOS 18, and you don’t have to wait until September to try out some of the new features, as long as you’re willing to accept a few bugs along the way.

Earlier this year, Microsoft started forcing Windows users to use the new Outlook instead of the inbox Mail app. Luckily, though, users had the option to simply disable the New Outlook toggle to bring back the old email app. All of that is now in the past, as Microsoft has just made things a lot more complicated for users who want to go back from the new Outlook to the Mail app.

Ultimately the reaction to 18’s initial public beta may be more about what’s not there than what is. When Apple first announced its latest annual update to the mobile software platform back in June, most of the attention went to a suite of features—the top-billed ones if you look at the company’s iOS 18 Preview Page—collected under the aegis of Apple Intelligence. These marked the company’s much anticipated foray into artificial intelligence and promise everything from image generation to a reinvigorated Siri.

As I said before, this Google Maps redesign will not roll back the colors to the original Google Maps palette you might still be missing. Instead, it cleans up the entire app experience, making the app easier and clearer to navigate.
