Name that tune.

I was reminded this morning that Apple added a new “Music Haptics” accessibility feature to iOS 18, which I hadn’t actually tried out yet, that subtly vibrates along to songs for those affected by hearing loss to feel.

Apple Sports 2.0 has arrived.

Last month, Apple announced an update for the Sports app that adds Live Activities support to help you follow games on the lock screen of your iPhone or Apple Watch.

Now, it has been released in the App Store just ahead of the launch of iOS 18 and watchOS 11, and it includes a new drop-down menu and search setup to switch between leagues and teams.

The tool, “Repair Assistant,” will be able to configure things like batteries cameras, and displays, MacRumors reports.

Apple announced earlier this year that it would open the iPhone to repairs with used genuine parts.

Here’s everything coming in iOS 18.

Apple published a giant PDF document that’s just a simple list, with brief descriptions, of all the new features coming to iOS 18 over the next several months.

As MacRumors notes, it’s more than 250 items long, so dig in, nerds — I know I will.
