Apple is reportedly planning to supercharge the Calendar and Reminders apps with iOS 18 and macOS 15 this year. These updates join a long list of other expected iOS 18 improvements, including new AI features, upgrades to Safari, and more.
iOS 18: Upgrades to Reminders and Calendar
We’d treat this rumor with skepticism for right now, as the source doesn’t have a long-term, established track record of software leaks. The report admits that the “information provided by those familiar with Apple’s upcoming operating systems isn’t all encompassing.”
The report, which comes from Marko Zivkovic at AppleInsider, says that Apple is testing a “new-and-improved” version of the Calendar app that offers integration with the Reminders. Using the Calendar app, users will allegedly be able to “schedule and organize reminders directly,” without using the actual Reminders app.
Reminders created via the new Calendar app will still appear in the Reminders app, as well. The Calendar app will support setting a specific date, time, location, and priority setting for each reminder.
The report explains:
Tapping or right-clicking an area within the Day, Week, or Month views in pre-release versions of the new Calendar app will reveal an option that prompts the user to either set a reminder or schedule an event. Both can be scheduled from the same UI element, allowing for greater convenience.
When adding a reminder through the Calendar application, users will be able to select a title and add a note or tag to their reminder, as a way of describing it or making it easier to locate.
The report also claims that the Calendar app will “receive minor design alternations” with iOS 18 and macOS 15.
