The iPhone 16 series and Apple Watch Series 10 are set to be released soon, but today Apple is releasing iOS 18 for the iPhone. This latest version of iOS comes with a host of new features, including the ability to customize your home screen and control center, lock and hide apps, access the overhauled Photos app, and utilize Apple Intelligence, Apple’s new AI system. However, before updating to iOS 18, it is important to check if your iPhone supports it and if it will support the new Apple Intelligence features.
Fortunately, every iPhone model that currently supports iOS 17 will also support iOS 18. This means that if you are currently running iOS 17, you will be able to upgrade to iOS 18 without any issues. The new gestures that come with iOS 18 will enhance the way you interact with your Apple devices, making for a more seamless user experience. Additionally, Apple Intelligence will be released next month with iOS 18.1 as a beta for the general public. However, not every iPhone model will support Apple Intelligence, so it is important to check if your specific model is compatible.
Apple Intelligence can be used to quickly summarize text in Safari, create personalized images in Messages, and ask Siri to perform more complex tasks. It will also be available on iPadOS 18.1 and MacOS Sequoia 15.1, but only on iPad and Mac models with M1 and later processors. The only older iPhone models that will support Apple Intelligence are the two iPhone 15 Pro models with the A17 Pro processor. All the iPhone 16 models are set to have Apple Intelligence as well, making them more advanced in terms of AI capabilities.
In addition to the iOS 18 release, Apple has announced new features and updates at their recent event. These include the official release of the Apple Watch Series 10, the arrival of the iPhone 16, and the expected launch of AirPods. With these new product releases and software updates, Apple is continuing to innovate and enhance the user experience for their customers. Stay tuned for more information on the latest developments from Apple and how they will impact your devices and daily use.
