iOS 18 is the upcoming eighteenth major release of Apple's iOS operating system for the iPhone.[3][4][5][6] It was revealed at the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). It is the direct successor to iOS 17 and was announced alongside watchOS 11, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. As with every release since iOS 4, updates are available at no additional cost to users.
System features
Artificial intelligence
On iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the Apple Intelligence platform will be available in iOS 18. Apple Intelligence adds artificial intelligence capabilities and large language model integrations to Siri and other operating system functions.[3][7][8]
Messages
iOS 18 will support Rich Communication Services (RCS) on supported conversations, including support for read receipts and higher quality multimedia sharing. As with SMS, it will be designated with green message bubbles and buttons to distinguish it from full iMessage conversations (blue).[9][10]
Photos
iOS 18 includes a redesign of the Photos app.[11]
Home Screen
iOS 18 allows users to customize the icon color as well as the icon position on the Home Screen.[12] Previous iOS versions required icons to snap to a grid that did not allow gaps.
Supported devices
All iPhones that supported iOS 17 also support iOS 18. However, there are varying levels of support depending on the device's system-on-chip (SoC).
iPhones with an A12 Bionic SoC, which includes the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, and those with an A13 Bionic SoC, such as the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, and the second-generation SE, have limited support for iOS 18.
In contrast, iPhones with an A14 Bionic SoC and later models, including the iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max, receive full support for iOS 18.
However, the new Apple Intelligence functions require an A17 Pro SoC or later, which is only available on the most recent iPhone models, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.[7][13]
iPhones that support iOS 18 are as follows:[14][15][16]
- iPhone XS & XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro & 11 Pro Max
- iPhone SE (2nd generation)
- iPhone 12 & 12 Mini
- iPhone 12 Pro & 12 Pro Max
- iPhone 13 & 13 Mini
- iPhone 13 Pro & 13 Pro Max
- iPhone SE (3rd generation)
- iPhone 14 & 14 Plus
- iPhone 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max
- iPhone 15 & 15 Plus
- iPhone 15 Pro & 15 Pro Max
