The post Apple Releases iOS 18 Beta 3: What’s New appeared first on Geeky Gadgets.
It’s Mobile Monday, and we’re delighted to see that Apple has embraced the occasion by releasing iOS 18 Beta 3 today. This latest beta version brings a range of updates and refinements, moving closer to the official launch of iOS 18. With a focus on enhancing user experience, streamlining interfaces, and adding new features, this update highlights Apple’s ongoing commitment to improving its operating system based on feedback from developers and users.
Designer: Apple
One of the significant updates in iOS 18 Beta 3 is the introduction of Dark Mode icons for several third-party apps, including Facebook, Etsy, Telegram, Signal, Slack, Notion, and YouTube. These icons now automatically adjust to Dark Mode, with secondary colors becoming the main color and backgrounds turning black. More complex app icons are tinted darker, while developers have the option to provide their own dark-tinted icons for better customization.
The Photos app has received a usability enhancement by adding a Select button for a more accessible selection of multiple images, eliminating the need to swipe down. The Search button has also been updated to a blue-highlighted magnifying glass, improving visibility and ease of use.
Messages have undergone significant changes, particularly in its emoji and sticker interface. The new design combines emoji, Memoji, and stickers into a single interface, navigable through small icons at the bottom of the display. Users can create and use stickers directly in messages, with non-moving stickers displayed similarly to emojis. Emojis are now shown larger, providing more detail but requiring more scrolling to see additional characters. These enhancements pave the way for the introduction of Apple Intelligence, including features like Genmoji and Image Playground.
Apple has also added a dynamic wallpaper option that transitions through different colors based on the time of day, making iOS 18 visually engaging. The flashlight interface has been refined, offering a more extensive and intuitive control for adjusting brightness and LED flash spread when activated from the Dynamic Island.
The Maps app continues to receive tweaks, particularly its icon colors, when Dark Mode is enabled, ensuring a consistent and seamless user experience. Additionally, the interface for RCS in the Messages settings has been updated to a tap-in menu that provides more context, such as the use of wireless data and the sharing of cellular network identifiers with carriers.
Hints of Apple Intelligence are becoming more apparent, with code references to features like Genmoji, Image Playground, Writing Tools, and Image Wand. These forthcoming AI enhancements are expected to significantly augment the capabilities of iOS 18, offering users a smarter, more responsive experience.
iOS 18 beta 3 is a clear sign that Apple is committed to making its operating system better and more user-friendly with every update. This release shows how Apple listens to feedback and continues to refine features, fix bugs, and add new capabilities to ensure users have a smooth and enjoyable experience with each new version.

Do you love MagSafe-compatible products as much as I do?! There is a great sense of satisfaction, in my opinion, to have things just stick to your phone. Be it a pair of earphones (maybe that’ll be the next generation of AirPods) or have your phone just conveniently stick to a charging pad – it’s almost like magic. The reintroduction of the MagSafe led to a whole new world of accessories being unleashed. Designers and creatives were racing to create a whole range of products for the repurposed MagSafe. And we’ve been loving every bit of it! From a MagSafe flashlight to a Cyberpunk-themed charging station – there’s a MagSafe accessory out there for your every need. And, we’ve curated many products that we truly believe are worth buying and investing in. This army of accessories will truly amp up your Apple experience!
The M-Con is inspired by sliders like the PSP Go or, closer to home, the Xperia Play. It is removable like most smartphone controllers today, but it utilizes MagSafe technology to attach it to the iPhone’s back securely. You can always have it attached, or separate the two pieces to place them into your pockets with ease. The design has another USP too – the controller portion and the MagSafe plate can also be separated, and the plate can be used as a stand for the iPhone. You can use the controller as you would, and you can play with the phone even when it is standing on the table.
The Aulumu M01 4-in-1 Wireless Charging Station has a unique cyberpunk-like aesthetic which truly sets this charger aside. It doesn’t feature a straightforward row of circles, instead, it alternates their arrangement to create a visually appealing composition that instantly grabs attention. The colors alternate as well, as the white Apple Watch pad is surrounded by black circles for the iPhone and AirPods case. The charging station features the conventional text, lines, and visible screws you’d find in such a tech-centric design language.
Dubbed the WUBEN E1, this MagSafe flashlight has 300 lumens of brightness and is 6 times more powerful than your smartphone flashlight. It is ideal for vlogging, selfies, outdoor trips, emergencies, and even reading. You can snap the WUBEN E1 onto the back of your phone, allowing it to function as a compact ring light whenever you need it. You don’t need to resort to your phone’s poor flashlight. Even when you’re not using the WUBEN E1 as a ring light, you can prop your phone against it at any angle.
Meet the TORRAS MiniMag – a compact MagSafe power bank that you can snap onto the back of your phone, giving it an instant and much-needed battery boost. The power bank is the size of a credit card, and it features a thickness of 0.3 inches. The MiniMag’s compact size and MagSafe compatibility allow it to seamlessly attach to your iPhone, powering it with an extra 5000mAh battery, allowing you to go about your day without the stress of your phone dying down any second.
Meet Meizu’s latest Pandaer 35W wireless power bank! The Pandaer 35W features a 10,000mAh capacity and provides multiple charges for almost all smartphones. What makes the product stand out is that it features an integrated magnetic ring, which works perfectly with Meizu’s Pandaer magnetic ecosystem, as well as other MagSafe devices. This ensures effortless and seamless charging, and you can snap your phone onto the power bank, and relax as it receives a battery boost to last the whole weekend!
Dubbed the G4 Charger, this cool accessory reminds you of the Elago charger which converted the Apple Watch into a Macintosh. The charger features a sleek and compact form, which pulls attention to the iPhone placed on it. It is equipped with a dual joint system on the back, and you can position and angle your phone however you like using this joint. It includes a handy light inside the domed front which lights up when your phone starts charging.
Created by Native Union and Maison Kitsuńe, these beautiful covers are made from premium Italian leather, and they’re the perfect case for your iPhone. The covers have drop protections, lips around the screen, and a camera bump. It also features a set of magnets that can be used to reinforce the attachment of the companion MagSafe wallet that can be utilized to store at least two cards. The covers are great to look at and use.
Called STRICKERS, this ultra-thin power bank is a conceptual design that you can magnetically attach to the back of your smartphone, most likely an iPhone. The small pack is able to hold a 10,000 mAh battery capacity, so it doesn’t add a lot of bulk to the back of your smartphone. The power bank is equipped with a sheet of bendable silicone material which converts the phone into a smartphone stand.
Meet Elago’s WS M5 Charging Stand! The nifty little product is designed to be a whimsical yet functional MagSafe charger, and it looks like the Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP. The charger serves as a stable stand to charge as well as hold your iPhone. It features a fixed 30-degree angle which is great for watching movies or videos, or even to make use of the IOS Standby Mode at night. It also includes helpful back support, ensuring the charger doesn’t fall down.
Meet the Apple MagSafe Origami Grip Stand – this MagSafe stand is truly a unique one, and the Japanese art of paper folding inspires it. You can fold the stand flat, hence ensuring you don’t need to waste time assembling and disassembling it. It is a one-of-a-kind accessory that is quite thin and lightweight and has the size of a credit card. The stand is easy to attach to your phone, and can be easily stored in your pocket as well.
