It’s speculated that Apple will rename “Apple ID” to “Apple Account” with the iOS 18 update. The exact reason for this change is unclear, but it may aim to simplify things, akin to how Google refers to accounts for Android phones as “Google Accounts.”
Reports suggest the name change could occur later this year, possibly announced at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June and implemented with the iOS 18 update, potentially coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 16 series in September.
What is Apple ID?
Your Apple ID is used to log into Apple devices like iPhone, MacBook, or iPad. You can create an Apple ID during device setup or on Apple’s website or iTunes on a Windows computer.
iOS 18 Update Introduces ‘Hearing Mode’ Feature
Rumors suggest that the upcoming iOS 18 update may include a new feature called ‘Hearing Mode.’ While there may not be new hardware for AirPods Pro, Apple could introduce a mode to assist with hearing. This feature might include a hearing test function, allowing AirPods to assess your hearing ability across various sounds. Such a feature could be beneficial for individuals with hearing impairments and could reduce the reliance on other apps like Mimi.
