Since 7pm yesterday, we now have iOS 18 officially available on all compatible iPhones. Apple has decided to recover a feature that they could start implementing those people who already had a cell phone in the late 90s. We tell you how to go back in time with the most modern phone currently on the technology scene.
iOS 18 saves the T9
The T9, also called Text on 9 keysis a predictive text technology used in mobile phones equipped with a numeric keypad. Developed in the 1990s, it allows users to quickly compose messages by anticipating the words they want to type. The system uses a pre-installed dictionary and Suggests words based on key combinations pressed. When you press a key, the T9 automatically selects possible letters and completes the word, making typing more efficient than the traditional method of pressing each key multiple times to choose a letter.
For this reason, if you want to make a phone call and this contact is saved, you can try typing his name on the keys. For example, If you are going to call mom, you can write by pressing this following code, 6262. You will see that the contact saved as Mom automatically appears on the iPhone screen.
However, it doesn’t seem to be something that makes much practical sense, since we usually always call the same people and for that we use the Favorites icon or the Recents icon, It is still curious that there are 18 who offer us this possibility again.
Your new operating system for iPhone
iOS 18 brought some interesting new features, like a new password manager, a completely redesigned photo library, and the Ability to place icons wherever you want. Also apply certain colors to your device’s home screen, which some users categorically reject, but is nevertheless one more possibility we have.
This operating system is available for all iPhones released from 2018, and You can download it connected to a WiFi network. Depending on the model, you will need about 6 GB of free space on your mobile phone, although this figure may vary. Apple offers 6 years of updates with this version of its operating system, which will put artificial intelligence at the forefront. To do this, we will still have to wait until 2025, as announced during the presentation of the new Apple products last Monday.
