Apple is set to introduce a new iCloud-based service called “Confetti” as early as this week, according to reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The service will offer users a new way to invite people to parties, functions, and meetings. While details are scarce, the feature appears to be tied to iOS 18.3, which was released last week.
This news corroborates previous findings on iOS 18.3 code references to a potential new “Invites” app from Apple, which would help users organize events with iCloud integration. The expected announcement may provide more clarity soon.
Apple has been introducing numerous features and improvements across several point updates since iOS 18 was released in September 2024. Users have seen tweaks and changes designed to enhance various apps, including the Mail app and Camera Control on the iPhone 16.
In other news, Apple is rumored to discontinue the iPhone “Plus” device in its iPhone 17 lineup to make way for an iPhone “Air,” which would be thinner profiled. However, no official confirmation has been provided by Apple regarding these rumors.
Meanwhile, AirPods firmware updates have recently received new instructions from Apple, which may provide more insight into how users can initiate updates on their wireless earbuds.
