Home Screen 主屏幕
In iOS 18, the home screen receives several radical (for iOS) changes. For the first time, users are allowed to place app icons anywhere, as long as they adhere to the traditional grid structure. The same thing now applies to widgets on iPhone, a feature previously exclusive to iPadOS.
在 iOS 18 中，主屏幕发生了几项根本性的（针对 iOS）更改。用户第一次可以将应用程序图标放置在任何地方，只要遵循传统的网格结构即可。同样的事情现在也适用于 iPhone 上的小部件，这是以前 iPadOS 独有的功能。
Speaking of widgets, in iOS 18 you can now resize widgets dynamically via a handy drag handle that surfaces while in edit mode. Widgets can also be upsized and downsized, all the way back down to a regular app icon, using a context menu option that appears when long-pressing the app.
说到小部件，在 iOS 18 中，您现在可以通过在编辑模式下显示的方便的拖动手柄动态调整小部件的大小。使用长按应用程序时出现的上下文菜单选项，还可以放大和缩小小部件，一直回到常规应用程序图标。

There’s also the ability to make app icons larger, which also brings forth the ability to hide app names on the Home Screen for the first time. Hopefully, Apple will extend this feature to the smaller icons as well.
还有使应用程序图标更大的功能，这也首次带来了在主屏幕上隐藏应用程序名称的功能。希望苹果也能将此功能扩展到较小的图标。
Users will also like the new option to enable a dark mode for icons. Currently, only Apple’s first-party pre-installed apps are affected by the dark mode option, but developers will be able to feature it in their apps as well. In addition, there is a new option to tint all app icons with the same color for a more cohesive theme on the Home Screen.
用户还会喜欢启用图标深色模式的新选项。目前，只有苹果的第一方预装应用程序受到深色模式选项的影响，但开发人员也可以在他们的应用程序中使用它。此外，还有一个新选项可以将所有应用程序图标着色为相同的颜色，以便在主屏幕上形成更具凝聚力的主题。
Calendar 日历
Up until now, the Calendar app was a big disappointment for me, because the monthly view provided almost no detail. In iOS 18, Apple has finally addressed this glaring omission by providing the month view with different colors for each calendar, and the ability to pinch out to view specific details about upcoming events.
到目前为止，日历应用程序让我非常失望，因为每月视图几乎没有提供任何细节。在 iOS 18 中，苹果终于解决了这个明显的遗漏，为每个日历提供了不同颜色的月视图，并且能够通过捏合来查看即将发生的事件的具体细节。
But Apple took it a step further in iOS 18, and tightly integrated the Calendar with Reminders. You can now schedule a reminder directly in the Calendar, and add a calendar event directly from Reminders. These are both quality improvements that are sure to simplify event and task management.
但苹果在 iOS 18 中更进一步，将日历与提醒紧密集成。您现在可以直接在日历中安排提醒，并直接从提醒中添加日历事件。这些都是质量改进，肯定会简化事件和任务管理。
Messages 留言
In iOS 18, the Messages app gains several new features, such as being able to use emojis and stickers with tapbacks, the super-handy one-icon replies for quickly acknowledging a message that doesn’t require a full text response.
在 iOS 18 中，消息应用程序获得了多项新功能，例如能够使用表情符号和带有点击回车的贴纸，超级方便的单图标回复可快速确认不需要全文回复的消息。
Users will also love the ability to schedule messages, a feature that I and many others have been wanting for years. Apple also included a new text effect option that allows you to apply special effects and text formatting for your messages down to an individual word or emoji character.
用户还会喜欢安排消息的功能，这是我和其他许多人多年来一直想要的功能。苹果还提供了一个新的文本效果选项，允许您为消息应用特殊效果和文本格式，直至单个单词或表情符号字符。
Notes 笔记
Notes have received some fantastic updates over the years, and that trend continues with iOS 18. One of my favorite new features is the ability to collapse headings, which is great for organizing dense text. Notes also gains the ability to record and embed audio notes and highlight text using one of five new color options.
多年来，Notes 得到了一些精彩的更新，iOS 18 延续了这一趋势。我最喜欢的新功能之一是折叠标题的功能，这对于组织密集的文本非常有用。笔记还能够录制和嵌入音频笔记，并使用五种新颜色选项之一突出显示文本。
Accessibility 无障碍
As always, this year’s major iOS update includes quite a few noteworthy accessibility improvements. A new Vocal Shortcuts option, which lets you establish specific keywords for executing Siri commands and shortcuts provides an extremely powerful new automation tool.
与往常一样，今年的主要 iOS 更新包括许多值得注意的辅助功能改进。新的“语音快捷方式”选项可让您建立用于执行 Siri 命令的特定关键字，而快捷方式提供了极其强大的新自动化工具。
There’s also a new visionOS-like eye-tracking feature that allows you to control your device using just your eyes. I can only imagine this feature becoming more powerful over time and may be a good enough reason for a significant update to the front-facing camera hardware in future iPhones.
还有一个新的类似 VisionOS 的眼球追踪功能，让你只用眼睛就能控制你的设备。我只能想象随着时间的推移，这个功能会变得越来越强大，并且可能成为对未来 iPhone 的前置摄像头硬件进行重大更新的充分理由。
