Hidden secrets in iOS 18

• New upload limits. Before we could limit the charge to 80%, now we have more options: 85, 90 and 95% to extend the battery life of the iPhone.
• App settings in a new section. Within the Settings app, at the end, before we had a complete list with all the app settings, now they are located within a section called Apps.
• Home and work locations in the Weather app. When we open the Weather app we see that we can configure the locations of our home and work.
• Animation when pressing the volume buttons. This is a “very Apple” animation, it appears when you press the volume buttons or the Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro.

• Unit converter in the Calculator app. A new button located at the bottom left improves the Calculator functions: Scientific, Math Notes and a new unit converter.
