Apple is set to release **iOS 18.3** next week, adding more refinements to its Apple Intelligence features, along with a couple of handy new capabilities for iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 devices. The update also includes bug fixes. Below are five key updates you’ll notice this month:
– **Calendar Event Addition**: On iPhone 16 models, long-press the Camera Control button when viewing a poster or flyer to add an event to your Calendar app with Visual Intelligence support.
– **Plant and Animal Identification**: Enhance your nature-spotting skills by using Visual Intelligence in the Camera app to easily identify plants and animals.
– **Notification Management**: On compatible devices running iOS 18.1 or later, you can now manage notification summaries directly from the Lock Screen for apps like Messages, Photos, and Videos. Toggling settings anytime via Settings > Notifications will let you turn off or on these summaries as needed.
– **Noticeable Notification Change**: Summarized notifications in iOS 18.3 will appear in italics to make them easier to spot, though Apple has temporarily disabled this for News & Entertainment apps.
– **Calculator Improvement**: The Calculator app now repeats the last operation when you tap equals twice (after tapping once). This is perfect for calculating compound interest or repeating math problems efficiently.
