iOS 18 and iPadOS 18: Compatibility, Features, and Release Date for iPhone and iPad

Apple is set to release major updates for its iOS and iPadOS operating systems later this year, with new features that will make interacting with iPhones and iPads even easier. According to reports from Forbes and TechRadar, both iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 are expected to launch in the fall of 2024. Here's what we know so far about these updates.

First, let's talk about iPhone compatibility. All iPhone models from the iPhone XS onwards will be compatible with iOS 18, including the latest models like the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, not every feature of iOS 18 will be available on every device.

One of the most exciting new features is Apple Intelligence, which allows users to interact with their iPhone as easily on a Mac as if it were in their hand. This feature is expected to roll out with support for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in fall this year. Another notable feature is SharePlay Screen Sharing, which will allow users to draw on each other's screens and even request permission to remote-control their friend's device.

As for iPad compatibility, all iPad models from the iPad Air 3rd generation onwards will be compatible with both iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. However, some older models like the iPad Pro 10.5-inch (2017), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2017), and the iPad 9.7-inch (2018) will be dropped from support.

In terms of specific features, iOS 18 is expected to include a redesigned Photos app with better organization and automatic categorization of photos by topics like Recent Days, Trips, and People & Pets. The Control Center in iOS 18 will also support multiple widget pages, including one dedicated to managing smart home appliances.

Additionally, Siri is being redesigned to understand users better with more awareness of personal context and the ability to take action in and across apps. Home screen customization is also coming to iOS 18, allowing users to match icon colors to their wallpaper, similar to Android's Material You.

Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting new features as they become available.
