These smart capabilities are coming to iOS 18’s thanks to an overhauled flashlight UI.
No detail is too small for Apple’s designers.
What a time to be alive!
The solid curve also responds to finger movement, moving closer and farther from the flashlight icon.
The dotted curve denotes the maximum threshold.
It’s a simple yet effective interface.
Anything that helps me fine-tune flashlight intensity in complete darkness gets a thumbs-up in my book.
Going the Extra Mile With Flashlight
Other controls are intuitive, too.
A tap on the interface toggles the flashlight.
Hitting outside sucks the interface into the Dynamic Island area.
To bring it back (with your adjustments remembered), tap the Dynamic Island again.
Early adopters can try the new flashlight UI byinstalling the iOS 18 Public Beta.
Others will need to wait a few more weeks until Apple releases iOS 18 for public consumption this fall.
