According to a reliable insider cited by 9to5Mac, all iPhones running iOS 17 will receive the iOS 18 update later this year. Therefore, if you own any of the following iPhone models, you can expect your phone to be updated to iOS 18 in September:
- iPhone 15
- iPhone 15 Plus
- iPhone 15 Pro
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 14
- iPhone 14 Plus
- iPhone 14 Pro
- iPhone 14 Pro Max
- iPhone 13
- iPhone 13 mini
- iPhone 13 Pro
- iPhone 13 Pro Max
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 12 mini
- iPhone 12 Pro
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone SE (second generation)
- iPhone SE (3rd generation)
However, it's worth noting that the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max will ship with iOS 18 preloaded out of the box. Users of these newer models will therefore not need to update their operating systems as they will already be running iOS 18 upon purchase.
