iOS 17.4 is Apple’s next big update arriving in the coming days. This is an update that shapes the future of iOS and iPadOS in the European Union and will mark the start of a new era for the company on European territory. However, we must not forget that on the horizon we have the month of June with WWDC and the presentation of the new iOS 18, the biggest update in the history of iOS, or at least that’s what the latest rumors say. Speaking of rumors, has published a list of possible iPhones compatible with iOS 18 and iPads with iPadOS 18.
iOS 18 will be compatible with all iPhones compatible with iOS 17
We’ve been hearing about iOS 18 for a long time, a possible overhaul of the operating system and the appearance of artificial intelligence as a key element of this update. And these rumors may not be unfounded since the rest of the companies are moving inexorably towards creating their language models capable of powering all their platforms. We will see if this is true in WWDC24
A few hours ago, a tweet was published on social network X, then deleted. However, 9to5mac saved the post. The message gave the names of iPhone compatible with iOS 18, something that does not change much from year to year, but sometimes an iPhone was compatible with the previous version and not the new one, which means that this particular terminal is no longer essential for Apple.
If we pay attention to the rumor, iPhones compatible with iOS 18 will be the same as those compatible with iOS 17:
- iPhone15
- iPhone 15 Plus
- iPhone 15 Pro
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
- iPhone14
- iPhone 14 Plus
- iPhone 14 Pro
- iPhone 14 Pro Max
- iPhone13
- iPhone 13 mini
- iPhone 13 Pro
- iPhone 13 Pro Max
- iPhone12
- iPhone 12 mini
- iPhone 12 Pro
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iPhone11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhoneX
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation)
However, The fact that iOS 18 and iOS 17 have the same compatible iPhones may be a marketing technique, to ensure that all terminals receive a new update. This would mean, for example, that newer iPhones receive more AI-related features and older iPhones only receive design innovations, new apps or less important features, in an effort to encourage purchasing a new iPhone.
