Apple is set to enhance the functionality of its smartphones with the launch of iOS 18. It promises a significant leap forward in AI integration, communication enhancements like RCS, text effects, emoji reactions, and a more robust password manager. Additionally, users can look forward to improved customization options.

In a move that will delight many Apple enthusiasts, iOS 18 will be available to all iPhone models currently running iOS 17, extending support to devices as old as the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max from 2018. These models will celebrate their sixth anniversary this September. While the original iPhone SE was phased out with iOS 16, the second and third generations of the iPhone SE, released in 2020 and 2022 respectively, remain eligible for the update.
