It is known that iOS 18 brings new ways to customize iPhoneThis new version of the mobile operating system for iPhone will be offered for several generations of the smartphone. However, some features in iOS 18 will require the most powerful — and expensive — models.

Apple launched the new edition of its WWDC conference for developers on June 10, 2024. It was on this occasion that the American company gave news of the next major version of its operating system for iPhone, iOS 18. Its availability to the general public is expected in September 2024.

Until then, iOS 18 will go through several beta phases, to refine the functioning of the OS. Apple has, however, already communicated the list of its phones which will be entitled to it at the time of release. In total, there are 24 models supported as of June 10, 2024. This list will expand, including future models in the range.

You can see  which iPhones are compatible with iOS 18 is a quite good list

Obviously, we expect to soon add the iPhone 16, which will certainly be unveiled by Apple during the third quarter of 2024. This model will be available in several variants (certainly 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max), which will add 4 phones more to access iOS 18. This will also be the case for iPhones of subsequent years.

For Apple customers, this wide availability of iOS will provide access to many new features of the system without needing to change devices. This opportunity, however, has certain limits, new ways to customize iPhone are linked to hardware performance. Some devices are in fact a little too old to be able to make everything work.

This is typically the case with the new Apple Intelligence feature. This will only be available on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple announced. Previous generations as well as less powerful models of the same family (iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15) are excluded. To access Apple Intelligence, you will need a state-of-the-art iPhone.

Apple Intelligence limited to a single iPhone

What about Apple Intelligence? Apple's AI suite, which requires a lot of computing power to operate (despite partially operating in the cloud), requires the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. Even iPhone 15s are not compatible. There is no doubt that the iPhone 16s should all adopt generative AI.
