iOS 18 is the upcoming eighteenth major release of Apple's iOS operating system for the iPhone.[3][4][5][6] It was announced on June 10, 2024 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.
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 and size on the Home Screen.[12] Previous iOS versions required icons to snap to a grid that did not allow gaps. App Widgets may now be resized in-place or reduced to a normal app icon as desired.
Control Center
iOS 18 comes with a redesign to the Control Center, allowing for multiple pages of controls, resizable buttons, and third-party controls.[13]
Passwords
Apple introduced Passwords, a password manager aimed at simplifying password management for websites, applications, Wi-Fi, and verification codes.[14]
Supported devices
All iPhones that supported iOS 17 support iOS 18. However, there are varying levels of support depending on the device's system-on-chip (SoC).
In particular, the new Apple Intelligence functions require iPhones with an A17 Pro SoC or later, which are only available on the most recent iPhone models, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.[7][15]
iPhones with an A14 Bionic SoC and later models, including the iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max, are fully supported. In contrast, iPhones with an A12 Bionic SoC, which include the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, and iPhones with an A13 Bionic SoC, such as the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, and the second-generation SE, have limited support.
iPhones that support iOS 18 are as follows:[16][17][18]
- iPhone XS & XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro & 11 Pro Max
- iPhone SE (2nd generation)
