Like clockwork, Apple announced its new mobile OS at the annual WWDC event. The iOS 18 seems monumental not just because of the debut of Apple Intelligence (AI), but also for the minor upgrades that iPhone users have been requesting for years. The operating system will launch this fall alongside the new iPhone 16 Series. If you own an older iPhone, you’re probably wondering if the new OS will arrive on your device. So, let’s take a look at all the iPhones that will get the new iOS 18.

What’s new on the iOS 18?
Before we take a look at the iPhones set to get the iOS 18 update, let’s talk about the major highlights of the OS. Apple Intelligence dominated the keynote address at WWDC24 – and for good reason. It has its fingerprints all over the OS. From erasing unwanted objects in your pictures to recording and creating a transcript of your phone calls, Apple Intelligence can carry out a diverse range of tasks. Since the iPhone 11 Apple’s flagship smartphone has had a dedicated NPU, which is why handling the bulk of AI tasks will not prove to be a significant problem.
iOS 18 also gives a big boost to iPhones in terms of customisation options. It brings the smartphone up to speed with its Android counterparts. iPhone users can now change the size, colour, and position of the app icons on the home screen. It remains to be seen whether the OS will allow home screen access to third-party launchers and let users completely change the look of their devices.
