5 stealth iOS 18 features you don't want to miss
Eye tracking is just one of the iPhone's new under-the-radar tricks.

In iOS 18, you can control your iPhone with your eyes. The new eye-tracking feature works something like the Vision Pro, allowing you to “press” buttons on your phone simply by staring at them.
And that’s just one of the stealthy accessibility features that Cult of Mac writer D. Griffin Jones tried out for this week’s feature story. While Apple designed these accessibility features to aid people with disabilities, anybody can use them — and sometimes they prove helpful in surprising ways. Find out how they all work.
Also in this edition of The Weekender:
iOS 18 also gives you the ability to hide and/or lock your apps, and swap out your iPhone’s Lock Screen buttons for something more useful.
An antitrust ruling against Google means Apple will lose billions. Cult of Mac writer Ed Hardy makes the case that Apple should’ve done the right thing long ago.
Our reviewers tackled a pricey 280-watt (!!!) USB-C charger and some super-affordable AirPods Pro competitors this week.
As always, Cult of Mac Deals serves up discounts on hardware (like an AirTag-style tracker that actually fits in your wallet) as well as software and services (like an all-in-one AI tool that gives you lifetime access to ChatGPT, Mistral and more for less than $40).
Enjoy your weekend!
