As always, the successor to iOS 17 will arrive in the fall.
Apple
The “most impressive” iOS update of all time is expected this fall. It is already clear which iPhones will get this.
No time? blue News summarizes for you
- This year’s iOS update might be the biggest ever.
- The focus of the update should be primarily on artificial intelligence, where Apple has to catch up significantly.
- Good news for iPhone owners: If your iPhone can support iOS 17, it will also get iOS 18.
Every year, with the new iPhones in September, a new version of iOS, the operating system for Apple smartphones, comes. But the annual innovations here have been limited for a long time and since the iPhone is still selling brilliantly, there was little incentive for Apple to be particularly innovative.
But with iOS 18 that is likely to change. Shortly following the release of iOS 17, informed circles reported that iOS 18 would be “particularly impressive”. On the one hand, to conceal the rather marginal hardware improvements in the iPhone 16 and, on the other hand, to finally bring Apple up to date when it comes to artificial intelligence.
Tim Cook promises “groundbreaking possibilities”
Apple has so far almost completely missed AI. The personal assistant Siri has barely evolved in ten years, while competitors like Microsoft release one powerful chatbot following another. Its share price has almost doubled in the past year and has now overtaken Apple’s market capitalization.
CEO Tim Cook switched to crisis mode and tried to appease investors at the shareholders’ general meeting. Apple will enable “groundbreaking possibilities” with AI for its users this year, said Cook. In this context there is also the termination of the development of the Apple Car, whose resources should now also be invested in AI.
All iPhones from the XR onwards are included
Apple will probably reserve some AI functions for the latest iPhone 16 with its powerful chips, but a lot of it will also run via the cloud. The limited computing power of older iPhones is not a problem there, so they can also enjoy the new AI features with the iOS update.
And therefore it is not surprising that “Macrumors” refers to a reliable source reportedthat iOS 18 should be compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 17 today. In this way, Apple can offer the largest possible number of users the AI functions that are not yet known in detail, some of which will certainly have to be paid for. Specifically, iOS 18 runs on all iPhones newer than the iPhone XR, which was launched in 2018. These are in particular:
- iPhone 15
- iPhone 15 Plus
- iPhone 15 Pro
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 14
- iPhone 14 Plus
- iPhone 14 Pro
- iPhone 14 Pro Max
- iPhone SE (3. Generation).
- iPhone 13
- iPhone 13 Mini
- iPhone 13 Pro
- iPhone 13 Pro Max
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 12 Mini
- iPhone 12 Pro
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iPhone SE (2. Generation)
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
