The all-new iOS 18 comes with a customizable home screen, revamped Control Center ability, top-of-the-line Apple Intelligence features, an improved Siri, a new Eye-Tracking accessibility feature, and much more. Wondering whether your iPhone will receive the update? Here are all the supported iPhone models that will run iOS 18.
