Apple plans to reveal iOS 18 with new home screen customizations at WWDC 2024.

The update will allow users to move app icons and create blank spaces, marking a new design direction.

The changes suggest a move away from the design philosophy of former designer Jony Ive.

iOS 18 may also integrate Google's AI model, Gemini, enhancing iPhone's capabilities.

A public release of iOS 18 is scheduled for September after its June announcement.

There is concern that these Android-like features may erode Apple's unique design ethos.
