iOS 18 rollout begins today: Eligible iPhones, installation guide, and more

Apple is set to release the iOS 18 operating system for eligible iPhone models starting today, September 16. While the new iPhone 16 series, preloaded with iOS 18, will be available from September 20, eligible older-generation models will begin receiving the update from September 16.

Unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June this year, iOS 18 introduces a range of new features and tools, along with a redesign of several elements of the iPhone software. Apple Intelligence is a key highlight of this version, but it is expected to be available as a stable update only next month.
