iOS 18 Release Date
The iOS 18 public beta version was released in July, with the final beta 7 version expected to be the last before the official release. Apple is likely to announce the public rollout of iOS 18 at its upcoming event in September, coinciding with the anticipated debut of the iPhone 16 series. While the iOS 18 update will bring a host of new features, the AI-powered Apple Intelligence will not be immediately available to the public. It is rumored that Apple will gradually introduce these AI features throughout the year.
Upgrade Considerations
For iPhone users with the iPhone X or older models, upgrading to a newer model supporting iOS 18 may be a good idea. Any iPhone model equipped with the A12 Bionic chipset or newer will support iOS 18, but keep in mind that the AI features will only be accessible on the iPhone 15 Pro models and other upcoming iPhones.
