These could be all of the iPhones compatible with Apple’s future iOS 18 update،

Is it too early in the year for iOS 18-related warranties? Probably. But that can't stop the rumor mill from spinning, and while this spinning isn't completely out of control yet, a number of recent reports have painted a very promising picture of the next version of the operating system in terms of its importance, and now a new headache. The piece is (allegedly) being set up to bring smiles to the faces of owners of a few outdated Apple devices.

We're talking about the iPhone XR, It's true, an insider with a proven track record is today cited by the almost always reliable people of MacRumors as the source of a very encouraging message iOS 18 compatibility rumor.

More specifically, these are all iPhones currently expected to support iOS 18 when the update inevitably comes out in the fall:

Aside from the aforementioned six-year-old XR, XS, and XS Max, there are obviously no surprising names on this list, nor any shocking omissions. Released in 2020, the modest second-generation iPhone SE will of course be treated in the same way. iOS 18 makeover in September (presumably) like all its larger and/or newer brothers, and in addition to these 24 handsets, all members of the upcoming iPhone 16 family will also support the next version of the operating system.

If all of this comes true, there is clearly a very good chance that iPhoneSE2 and the iPhone 11 list will also be compatible with next year's iOS 19, which likely won't be the case for the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max.

While iOS 18 should therefore not drop support for iOS 17 compatible devices, iPadOS 18 could arrive on iPad Pros released in 2018 and later, but not on the 10.5 and 12.9 inch models from 2017. It is a slightly disappointing to hear but not entirely surprising given the advanced and now modest age of the Apple A10X Fusion processor that powers said 2017 iPad Pro generation.

2018's Apple A10 Fusion-based iPad 9.7 and 2019's iPad 10.2 are also unlikely to make the iPadOS 18 compatibility list, while 2020 and later editions alongside the iPad Air and iPad mini released in 2019 and later should have no issues. run the next version of the operating system.
