iOS 18 Available to Everyone Today

Monday, 1:20 PM by Rich Brome

iPhone users can now update to the final (non-beta) version of iOS 18. This version was originally announced as bringing "Apple Intelligence" AI features, but these have now been postponed until version 18.1 — expected "next month" — or some aspects of it have been pushed back to an even later update. iOS 18.0 still brings many new features, including support for RCS, which will improve conversations with "green bubble" friends using Android. Such conversations will now support high-quality photos and videos, as well as read receipts. iOS 18 also brings new freedom to customize app icons, and a new Control Center with additional Controls and customization. iPhone users can update by going to Settings, then General, then Software Update. iOS 18 is compatible with the iPhone XR / XS, iPhone 11 series and newer, and the iPhone SE 2nd Generation (2020) or newer.
