iOS 18 Update With Apple Intelligence and Other New Features: Release Date and List of Eligible Devices

iOS 18 brings new options for home screen customisation on iPhone along with generative AI features powered by Apple Intelligence.

Apple first showcased its latest OS updates, including iOS 18 at WWDC 2024 in June

Highlights

• iOS 18 update will be available to download starting September 16
• New Apple Intelligence features will be introduced with iOS 18.1 update
• Compatible devices include iPhone 16, iPhone 15 and previous models

iOS 18 will soon be rolled out globally for iPhone users, Apple confirmed on Monday. It will bring a host of new features with several of them being powered by Apple Intelligence – the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) suite. The upcoming iPhone update, first announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 in June, also unlocks new home screen customisation options, in addition to other quality-of-life improvements. In a subsequent announcement after the iPhone 16 launch, Apple confirmed the release date and the list of devices that will receive the iOS 18 update.

iOS 18 Update Release Date

According to Apple, the iOS 18 update will be released globally as a free software update on next Monday (September 16), days before the iPhone sale begins in India, the US and other regions. However, not all of the Apple Intelligence features will be available to users with the first iOS 18 update.

The Cupertino-based tech giant says that the first set of generative AI features will be rolling out to iPhone users with the iOS 18.1 update next month. Other Apple Intelligence additions such as a smarter Siri and Image Playground will be introduced in the coming months. In addition to English, Apple Intelligence will also be expanded to include Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish languages over time.
