iOS 18.5 Brings the Pride Harmony Wallpaper to iPhone and iPad, Also Enables Satellite Features on iPhone 13 Devices
Apple has released the RC version of iOS 18.5 and iPadOS 18.5 just now. The full and final version updates be released next week.
However, we now know exactly what is new in these updates since the official changelog has been revealed.
Check it out below:
This update also includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
- A new Pride Harmony wallpaper
- Parents now receive a notification when the Screen Time passcode is used on a child’s device
- Buy with iPhone is available when purchasing content within the Apple TV app on a 3rd party device
- Fixes an issue where the Apple Vision Pro app may display a black screen
- Support for carrier-provided satellite features is available on iPhone 13 (all models). For more information visit: https://support.apple.com/122339
Some features may not be available for all regions or on all Apple devices. For information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit: https://support.apple.com/100100
The most important change here is for iPhone 13 users. If your carrier supports satellite-specific features, such as SMS via satellite, iOS 18.5 enables those features on older iPhones. Again, your carrier should support these features in the first place.
The Pride Harmony wallpaper is also a part of this update. You can try it out by tapping and holding on the Lock Screen and then hit the + button on the bottom right.
