At the June 10, 2024 Apple WWDC presentation, the brand revealed its latest software including iOS 18, as we speculated. While hardware updates only affect users gearing up for the new devices, most Apple users will see the benefits of the latest integrations and updates. But which iPhones are getting the iOS 18 update?

iOS 18 brings significant redesigns to the iPhone control center, as well as updates to the Messages and Photo apps. But later this year, Apple is bringing its own brand of AI called Apple Intelligence. Not to mention, ChatGPT is coming to Siri.

Here's what we know so far.

The current software, iOS 17, supports iPhone XRs or newer, so we venture to assume that the update will cover the same models:

We do know only iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max phones will be able to utilize Apple's AI systems, so those looking to try it out will need to upgrade their device.

Before the announcement at Apple WWDC, we anticipated iOS 18 would bring heavy changes compared to other software updates. The updates to iOS affect the most frequently used apps like Messages and Photos.

With iOS 18, you can customize your phone to the highest degree. Apps can be adjusted around the screen to frame your wallpaper, and you can adjust the color and tint of your apps for a more cohesive look. If you're sick of accidentally turning on the flashlight because of its place on your lock screen, you can swap it out for other options including Snapchat — even though we're not sure why you'd need such quick access to it.

Plus you can now lock and hide apps on your phone, which may or may not result in the end of a few relationships.

Messages is getting an upgrade, too. Your favorite tapbacks are getting redesigned, but now you'll be able to react to a message with any emoji. Get vocal in your messages by using bold, italic, and strikethrough text and never forget to send a birthday text again with scheduled sends.

According to Apple, Photos is getting its largest redesign yet with a new single scroll photo grid. There are ways to filter your entire library, removing screenshots from cluttering your screen. Plus, it will recognize groups of people and your pets for better collections.

During the June 10, Apple WWDC event, the fruit company debuted a lot of new features in thorough detail but provided no date for when iOS 18 will be rolled out. Vaguely, they mentioned iOS debuting this summer with some features to be rolled out later in fall.

If you're giddy over the new developments coming to iOS 18 but your phone isn't covered, it's time for an upgrade. While we don't know all of the models that support iOS 18, we do know that the iPhone 15 Pro will, as its action button is becoming customizable.
