All iPhones that are compatible with iOS 17 should also be able to install iOS 18, relaysMacRumors.
This is what an often well-informed informant on the social network X, previously called Twitter, assures. The news is very attractive, and reminds us that iOS 15 or iOS 16 had not left out any iPhone in the past. To the editorial staff, our 2018 iPhone XR will therefore also be able to download the next version of its proprietary operating system. This should be unveiled with great fanfare during the traditional Worldwide Developer Conference, organized by Apple at its Californian headquarters. Typically, the event is held in June.
For the moment, we do not know what new features will be announced for the occasion. However, other additional options will arrive on our iPhones much earlier. Indeed: Apple is currently testing iOS 17.4 in beta version. The precise release date of this editionalso remains unknown at the moment. We do know, however, that some changes are on the agenda, including one considered historic. It is aboutthe ability to install an application without even going through the App Store. While this may seem innovative for mobile phones, you should know that everyone can already benefit from thesideloading(this is the name of this practice) on the Google Play Store for over ten years.
The list of iPhones that would be compatible with iOS 18
If iPhones that are compatible with iOS 17 are all compatible with iOS 18, then these are the following models:

Neither the color of your iPhone nor its storage capacity will affect your eligibility to install iOS 18. Please note, however, that you must have enough space on your memory to download the new operating system. For some, it may therefore be necessary to make room: the iPhone SE 2, for example, comes with only 64 GB in its basic version, a volume perhaps well underway for those who bought the device ago. is almost four years old. Count a few gigabytes for the weight occupied by iOS 18.
Note, moreover, that Apple plans to unveil five new smartphones in the coming months, all expected to be compatible with iOS 18 as well. We should first find outiPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Maxnext September. Then will probably followthe fourth generation iPhone SE. The latter should be released in spring 2025 (between the end of March and the beginning of May), with a design reminiscent of that of the iPhone 14. Biometric unlocking of Face ID, the 6.1 inches diagonal, and the end of the fingerprint sensor digital are the new developments expected around the corner.
What's new with iOS 18?
iOS 18 could above all have a new design. This time, the interface will be revisited very significantly, according to journalist Mark Gurman. The editor ofBloombergtherefore believes that we should benefit here from amakeovermajor, with perhaps for the first timesimilarities with the Apple Vision Pro operating system (visionOS).
This newsUIshould be deployed in final version a little more than ten years after iOS 7, which for its part abandoned the skeuomorphism of the iPhone in favor of more refined icons. With the update of Macs to macOS Big Sur in November 2020, notable changes were also made to the Dock of its computers by Apple.
