The ability to customize the display font on an iPhone, anticipated with the release of iOS 18, refers to the option for users to alter the system-wide typeface used for menus, applications, and other text elements on their devices. For example, a user might select a bolder font for improved readability or a more stylized font to personalize their device’s aesthetic.
Font customization offers significant benefits including enhanced accessibility for users with visual impairments, improved readability across various applications, and greater personalization of the user experience. Historically, iOS has offered limited font customization options, making the prospect of broader font control a noteworthy development for users seeking a more tailored mobile experience.
