If you completely missed WWDC 2024 or if you don’t even know what event it is, but you have an iPhone, tell yourself that this is where iOS 18 was presented. This will be the next big iOS update and it’s already in beta, although will arrive in September stably for all compatible iPhones.
And this nuance of “compatible” is important, since as usual, it will not be compatible with all models. Yes, it will be with the same as iOS 17, although some of the best news will be limited
iPhones that will receive iOS 18 in September
Apple itself has already confirmed that we will have a fairly long list of iPhones compatible with iOS 18. As many as the previous version:

- iPhone SE (2nd generation – 2020)
- iPhone 12 mini

Not all news will reach all iPhones
On several occasions we have found that despite updating to a new iOS, some iPhones do not have all their features. And this is what is currently happening with the new artificial intelligence which the company has called Apple Intelligence and which even includes a new and powerful Siri.
Due to a number of hardware limitations, the list of devices that will not have Apple Intelligence is longer than those supported. In fact, they are only two devices
- iPhone 15 Pro
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
Of course, we expect this to improve with future iPhone 16s and that the regular and “Plus” models will accept it as well. However, barring any major surprises, the rest of the terminals will never have it. The same goes with things like the new way of protecting batteries, also exclusive to the latest “Pro” models.
