The iOS 18 public beta version was released in the month of July. Now, the final beta 7 version will be released soon and it is expected to be the final testing version before the official release. Now, it is expected that Apple will announce the rollout of the public iOS 18 version at the upcoming event in September. The announcement will likely come after the official debut of the speculated iPhone 16 series.
While the iOS 18 will be rolled out with new features and updates, however, the AI features will not be made available instantly to the public. Therefore, it is rumoured that Apple may gradually release AI features throughout the year.
IPhone users having the iPhone X or older models may want to consider buying a new model supporting the iOS 18. Note that any iPhone model supporting the A12 Bionic chipset or newer will support the iOS 18. However, the AI features will only be available to iPhone 15 Pro models and other upcoming iPhones.
