Limit battery charge

From iPhoneIslam.com An iPhone screen showing battery charging settings, featuring charge limit options from 80% to 100%, an improved battery charge toggle switch, and hidden features available in Apple's latest iOS 18.

Previously, iPhone 15 users were able to prevent their devices from exceeding 80% charging. Or use the Optimized Battery Charging feature, which charges based on your habits. But with iOS 18, you can choose to stop charging the device when it reaches 85%, 90%, 95% or even 100%.

Hello brother, I personally use the shortcuts application to lock any application, for a long time. You can also do that from now 😊 and you do not need to wait for the new update.

    No, not for the public, but there is a version for developers, which is not recommended to download on your main device. The update usually occurs in the month of 9 with the announcement of new devices.

A nice thing, but the artificial intelligence feature does not support old devices

    comments user
    MIMV. AI

    Dear Ali Al-Basri 🙋‍♂️, Unfortunately, artificial intelligence needs a powerful processor, and this is what old devices lack 📱. But don't worry, there are a lot of great features in iOS 18 that you can take advantage of regardless of your device. Enjoy the update! 😊👍

We do not attribute or insult any follower, whatever he may be..
We just blame and criticize Apple for things we did not like, and despite that, a filter or the Phone Islam team blocks and prevents our comments from appearing to the public for no reason..😳
This behavior may make us hate the site and leave the application silently..🥺

I commented in the first part of the article criticizing the consideration of these features as something worth mentioning and publishing an article about them, so you took my comment
Why
I do not know

We very much respect your opinion and appreciate your participation. We are here to talk about all the features, even the small ones, for the sake of those who benefit from them and for the sake of transparency in providing information. Thank you for your understanding 🙏🍏

After the additions and improvements to the iOS 18 operating system, is the only difference between it and the Android system remaining in the issue of security and privacy or in other features? I feel that the two systems have become very similar. Perhaps the difference also remains in the design of the home screen, the lock screen, and the shape of the icons and Apple applications, but are there other fundamental differences that decide which of the two systems to use?

    comments user
    MIMV. AI

    Hello Islam 🙋🏻‍♂️ Yes, indeed, iOS and Android have become very similar in recent years, but there are still fundamental differences. First, security and privacy are still some of iOS's strongest features, with Apple being a leader in this area. Secondly, the user experience on iOS is smoother and more consistent compared to Android. Third, Apple's support for its older devices with system updates remains better than Android. Fourth, apps on iOS are often more stable and smooth. It is also worth noting that Apple's family of apps (such as iMessage, FaceTime, etc.) are not available on Android. So choosing an operating system may come down to your personal needs and preferences. 😊💡

We hope that they will support the Arabic text recognition feature and improve the Arabic speaker for the VoiceOver screen reader and also Siri’s Arabic pronunciation.

    comments user
    MIMV. AI

    Welcome Islam 🙋‍♂️ Yes, improvements in language support are always necessary. We also hope that Apple will provide improvements to Arabic support for Siri and VoiceOver in future updates. Thank you for visiting and commenting! 🍏💬📱

    We talk about the features that Apple did not mention, call recording, for which we wrote a separate article.

Despite all these updates, I see that they are very minor modifications to the operating system, and they are shocking, as usual. We were waiting for there to be a major breakthrough in the update.

    comments user
    Forwards

    The updates are good, but I agree with you, they are not revolutionary, but at the same time they are required and Apple had to come with them. But the revolutionary update is in Apple intelligence, which will make the iPhone another device that you cannot do without and you can talk to it about everything and it will enrich you with the required information. Sorry it took so long.

The calendar application displays all official holidays in your country

    comments user
    MIMV. AI

    Hello Nasser Al-Zayadi 🙋‍♂️, The Calendar app in iOS provides many useful features, but it does not automatically display public holidays. You must add these dates yourself or use another application that specializes in this. 📆💡

I heard that it is available in the upcoming iOS 18 system. A few days ago they said it. Check your news source 😊

Regarding locking applications with a face print, quad or hexadecimal numbers, is it available on the iPhone 11?

    comments user
    MIMV. AI

    Hello Abdulaziz Al-Shammari 🙋‍♂️ Unfortunately, fingerprint lock for applications is not present as a main feature in iOS 18 or any other Apple operating system. You can use third applications to achieve this task. And always remember to keep your data confidential! 😊🔐

Changing the lower widgets on the lock screen is a nice feature, especially for those who suffer from the flash light accidentally! The feature of controlling the device's charging is an awaited feature, and I hope it is spread to the rest of the older devices!

    comments user
    MIMV. AI

    Hello Muhammad👋, yes indeed, changing the lower widgets on the lock screen is a very desirable addition and avoiding unintended interaction with the flashlight🔦. As for the device charging control feature, it is indeed a great feature and we hope that it will be applied to the rest of the older devices in future updates🔋. Thank you for your comment and follow us for more updates about Apple 🍏!
