iOS 18 will open new doors for the iPhone in terms of utility and possibly UI design changes, which will make it the biggest update Apple has released since the beginning of the platform itself. The company's AI-driven utilities will extend beyond standard features as it is expected to implement the technology on a system level, with various apps gaining improvements. The latest information suggests that the Notes app in iOS 18 will offer Voice Memos and math functionality within the app for convenience and easier access.
iOS 18 will enhance the Notes app in a way that will bring the Voice Memo and Calculator app features to the mix
The news was shared by AppleInsider, suggesting that the Notes app in iOS 18 will be a lot more useful than its current implementation in iOS 17 as Apple plans to bring Voice Memos and additional capabilities to the platform. Sources familiar with the matter have pointed out that users will be able to record voice memos within the Notes app, eliminating the need to switch to a different app. The recorded memo can be embedded in the Notes alongside the relevant information, and to be fair, the company has removed a major chunk of operations with the new functionality.

Currently, users do have the option to paste recordings in the Notes app from the Voice Memos app, but the forthcoming addition will amalgamate the functionality for a more seamless operation. Users who use the Notes app frequently for academics will find the new feature pretty nifty and easy to access without having to go through different apps.
The report also states that the Notes app will also bring Math features to the mix, allowing users to make calculations from within the app and it appears that the company is making the app a lot simpler and feature-rich for convenience. The Notes app will show mathematical notations so users can add equations to their notes, but it remains to be seen how the company will implement it in iOS 18.
Apple seems to be conjoining the Voice Memo and Calculator app to be used inside the Notes app for extended functionality. While the report mentions the changes for iOS 18, it would make a lot more sense if the company offered the same changes in iPadOS 18 as the Notes app is widely used by students on the iPad. The report mentions that the iPad could finally get a calculator app as well, which will work alongside the Notes app, but details on the matter are scarce at this stage. It has also been reported that Apple is redesigning the calculator app with macOS 15, possibly adding more functionality while changing the general design elements, but no concrete details

While there are various reasons for Apple's approach, users have been demanding that the company should increase the base RAM on Macs for a long time.
We have recently covered that the hype surrounding the Vision Pro has cooled down and demand for the headset is far lower than when it launched. The Apple Vision Pro did not pan out to be a hot seller as it was originally anticipated by the company which is why shipment orders have been cut down. Potentially, the lower-than-expected demand is due to the hefty price tag of the Vision Pro, as it is one of the most expensive mixed reality headsets on the market right now.
Apple's Vision Pro headset took the AR market by storm with its stunning looks and advanced technology underneath. While the headset had a solid start, the traction has reduced over time, potentially due to its hefty price tag and minimal real-world use cases. Prominent industry analyst claims that the demand for Vision Pro demos has greatly reduced, highlighting poor demand for the headset after initial hype.
The Vision Pro saw daylight last year at the WWDC event, but it took its sweet time to hit the shelves as the company was creating the necessary hype and preparing developers to create proper use cases for the headset. While the reviews shared positive feedback, the possibilities for the device are endless as developers work to expand the Vision Pro's applications in the real world. We are now hearing that an orthopedic surgeon in Brazil used the Apple Vision Pro to successfully perform surgery on a patient's shoulder.
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, or ASE, has reportedly won an exclusive order from Apple to supply two SiPs, or ‘system in a package’ for the upcoming iPhone 16 series.

This year's iPhone 16 lineup will get some notable improvements in design and how users use the device, as the company aims to integrate generative AI technology with the release of iOS 18 later this year. Apple is keen to increase the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max this year, while the standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will house the same display as the current models. A prominent analyst is now claiming that the iPhone 17 Plus will come with a smaller display size that will sit between the screen size of the 'Pro' models.
