Everything You Need to Know About iOS 17 Before iOS 18's Release
Before Apple releases iOS 18 in the fall, don't miss out on any of these iOS 17 features. The tech giant released iOS 17 in September, shortly after the company held its Wonderlust event, where the tech giant announced the iPhone 15 lineup, the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. We put together this cheat sheet to help you learn about and use the latest features in iOS 17. This page will also help you keep track of the subsequent iOS 17 updates.
3 fun iPhone text tricks to make messaging easier, more personal
Texting is a necessary part of many people's lives, but this form of digital communication doesn’t have to be boring!
You might be surprised to learn there’s a way to add extra flair to those blue and grey bubbles on your iPhone or iPad. These tips are especially useful if you’re involved in an active group chat or find yourself having multiple conversations with someone at the same time.
You might already know some of the fun tricks, like how to send birthday messages with balloons or toss a handful of confetti with a celebratory text. (If you don’t, check this out!) However, the iPhone has several more features up its sleeve that may come in handy when you’re using iMessage.
How to Access Indoor Maps on iPhone & iPad
For certain locations of malls and airports, Apple actually has indoor maps you can view directly from the Maps app. I love this feature because it allows me to figure out where I am without having to find a directory or physical map somewhere inside the location.
How to Use Theater Mode on Apple Watch
When you're watching movies, the last thing you need is your Apple Watch to send you notifications and light up the dark room. That's where the Apple Watch's Theater mode feature comes in! Theater mode is kind of like Sleep Focus or Do Not Disturb, but just for your Apple Watch. Theater mode keeps your notifications silenced and the display screen of your Apple Watch turned off. It's super easy to turn on and off. Here's how!
How to import passwords from other apps into Apple Passwords
iCloud Keychain has long existed on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to securely store, autofill, and manage all your login credentials. With iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, Apple now has a dedicated Passwords app that replaces the passwords section in device settings and Mac’s Safari.
Apple’s Passwords app is well built and works flawlessly. If you’re currently using a free or paid third-party password manager, you can import them all to Apple Passwords. Remember that your iCloud Passwords can also be used on Windows PC and Google Chrome browser.

Prime Day Apple deals: What to expect and the best early savings
One of the best ways to save money on the likes of iPhones, AirPods, and more, is to wait until the Prime Day Apple deals roll around with Amazon's massive deals event. There are always incredible savings to be had during Prime Day — but sorting through them can be a pain.
That's why we make lists like these — so that you can more easily find the best deals for you, and get a great saving on the Apple devices that you want to buy. There are even deals live already, before the sale, that will save you money on some super desirable products.
The sale has a date now as well — July 16-17. Hop onto Amazon on those two days and you'll find some excellent deals on almost everything in the Amazon repertoire — but before then, let's see what deals are already available.

The Best Apple Intelligence Features We Can’t Wait to Try
By far, the biggest new feature Apple revealed during this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) presentation is Apple Intelligence.
Apple’s take on AI shows what Apple devices will be capable of. Apple took a lot of time to ensure we got the full picture and understood that its technology will improve greatly in the next few years.
With Apple Intelligence, there are a bunch of new features that we can’t wait to try. Some of these features won’t be ready by the end of the year, but we’re hoping the wait will be worth it. Read on for eight exciting Apple Intelligence features coming to iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia.

The Quickest Ways to Convert HEIC to JPEG
Back in 2017, Apple introduced a new default photo format for the iPhone, HEIC. Nothing against this highly efficient format (it literally stands for High Efficiency Image Container)—it powers Live Photos and Apple’s excellent image post-processing, and it still manages to take up less space than JPG—but it can be a headache at times.
While HEIC works fine if you’re sharing a photo among other Apple devices, but you'll often run into a problem when you need to upload a photo to an online form or open it on Windows: It’s often not compatible, and won’t open.
There are a couple of ways to handle this. You can use a workaround to convert HEIC images to JPG (or JPEG) on your iPhone, or you can adjust your settings and switch back to shooting photos in JPG. If the photo is already on your Mac or Windows PC, you have some options there as well, including opening the photo natively on your PC.
