Aside from iPhone 15 series, the list is identical to iOS 17 and the company was expected to remove the latter part of the devices due to the end of their software update cycle. However, releasing more software updates will expand their lifecycle and consumer experience.
iOS 18
Apple will release this new iOS version at the WWDC annual developer conference in June. The company will focus more on generative AI stuff including better voice assistant and automation in in-built apps.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said that iOS 18 will bring major changes in the user interface (UI) which has been pending for years. Previous rumors suggest this iOS version will bring visionOS looks but Gurman has denied a complete lookalike.
Similar to the past years, Apple will first release iOS 18 with the iPhone 16 series later this year, followed by a rollout for older iPhones.
