Design Your Dream iPhone: iOS 18 Concept Brings Customization Freedom

A YouTube channel called Cottpro has created a concept video showcasing what iOS 18 might look like. It includes features and design changes that have been rumored to be coming in the update, but it's important to remember that these are just rumors. Apple hasn't confirmed anything yet, so take it with a grain of salt.

The concept video starts with the Lock Screen. The designer imagines a dock at the top, similar to the one on macOS, where you could place app shortcuts for quick access. This would be a handy addition since the Lock Screen is currently limited to notifications. The video then explores other parts of the operating system, including a redesigned Control Center.

The iPhone's Control Center hasn't changed much in a while, and Cottpro's concept takes inspiration from Apple's Vision Pro project. It looks sleek and could be a sign of things to come. Another interesting feature is the ability to place app icons anywhere on the Home Screen, even with empty spaces in between. This has been a popular request from users, and recent reports suggest Apple might finally be listening!

Imagine swiping sideways through your apps! This iOS 18 concept brings that dream to life with a horizontal Home Screen layout, something many iPhone users have craved for ages. It's probably a long shot for Apple to completely change things up, but this concept also shows how cool it would be to personalize your phone's entire look with custom color themes. Plus, it gives us a glimpse of what an Automatic Playlist feature in Apple Music might look like, and how Siri could get even smarter with the rumored AI integration coming in iOS 18. Speaking of AI, there's likely to be even more under the hood than this concept explores. To see all the cool ideas in motion, check out the concept video above!
