Every year, Apple upgrades the iPhone operating system which adds many new features.
This year, iOS 18 is being introduced to iPhone users. This new operating system will be introduced with the iPhone 16 series on September 9.
It is Apple’s first operating system to introduce features based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.
An AI model called Apple Intelligence for these features will be made part of iOS 18.
As mentioned above, the new operating system for iPhones will be available to users in the next few days, but not all iPhones will be able to update to iOS 18.
Most of the AI features in Apple’s new operating system will be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 series, as they will require an A17 Pro or later processor, but iOS 18 will bring several Will be available for older models as well.
Apple’s new operating system will only be available for iPhone XS or later models and will not be able to be updated to 2017 or earlier phones.
That means iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12, 13, 14 and 15 series phones will be able to use this new operating system.
However, if you’re using an iPhone X (or 10), Apple’s software updates will no longer be available to you.
This is not an unexpected decision as Apple ends software support for older devices every year.
But it should be noted that even after you lose access to the new iOS system, your old iPhone will continue to work on the old operating systems, it will just lack the new features.
Losing access to new iOS updates increases the risk of hacking and malware because software updates also prevent bugs.
