Apple says iOS 18’s Wallet app has a smart new feature that helps prevent fraud when you add IDs to your iPhone:
To prevent fraud, when you add an ID to your iPhone, you may be asked to take a live photo instead of a series of head and face movements. Live Photos are evaluated by your device and Apple to ensure that the photo you send is of a living person and the same living person sending their photo.
There’s also an improvement to Siri’s performance in cars, especially in cars without CarPlay:
In iOS 18, if your iPhone is connected via Bluetooth to a car that doesn’t have CarPlay, Siri’s voice quality can be significantly improved with the new Reply option via media source. Users can enable this feature in Settings Siri and Search → Siri Answers → Connected to Bluetooth in the car
Finally, Apple says it has improved the way FaceTime works in low data mode:
FaceTime in Low Data Mode now uses more data when network conditions are good to improve video call quality.
