The latest OS update from Apple for iPhones, iOS 18, is officially available to the public after spending a couple of months in beta. It brings with it a whole bag full of updates, like tinted icons, a changed Home Screen layout, a new Control Center, a redesigned Photos app, swappable controls on the Lock Screen, and a slew of artificial intelligence features under the umbrella of Apple Intelligence.
Apart from the Apple Intelligence features, you can start using them on your device right away, as long as you have a compatible device that can be updated to iOS 18.
This is the complete list of devices that are compatible with the iOS 18 update:
- iPhone 16 Pro

- iPhone 16 Plus

Curiously, the list of this year’s compatible devices is exactly the same as last year’s which means every device running iOS 17 can upgrade to iOS 18. While everyone expected the tech giant to leave iPhones XR, XS, and XS Max off the list, that didn’t happen.
You can update your iPhone by going to Settings > General > Software Update and tapping on Install and Update under iOS 18.
