iOS 18 Now Rolling Out for iPhone Users: How to Download, Supported iPhone Models

iOS 18 was rolled out globally, including in India, by Apple on Monday. The new update for the iPhone was first previewed at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 in June, and in subsequent weeks, several developer and public beta updates were released. It is now available to download for iPhone users in India and brings system-wide enhancements, including new ways to customise home and lock screens, revamped apps, and more. Apple will be bringing features using Apple Intelligence – the company's artificial intelligence (AI) suite, to supported iPhone models next month.

Although iOS 18 is now available for download, Apple Intelligence will not be included in the update. The Cupertino-based tech giant heavily advertised its new AI suite at the WWDC 2024 event, as well as alongside the new iPhone 16 models. However, features like writing tools, object removal tools and web page summarisation will only arrive with the iOS 18.1 update next month. Meanwhile, some of the most anticipated features such as the new generative AI-powered Image Playground will be available to users later next year.
