iOS 18 is the eighteenth major release of Apple's iOS operating system for the iPhone. It was announced on June 10, 2024, at the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), and made publicly available on September 16, 2024, as a free software update for supported iOS devices. It is the direct successor to iOS 17 and was announced alongside iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, watchOS 11, visionOS 2, and tvOS 18.
iOS 18 is the last version of iOS that features a flat design style, as that design style was replaced with Liquid Glass in its successor, iOS 26. It is also the last version that supports the iPhone XS/XS Max and iPhone XR, ending support for iPhones with dedicated 3D Touch hardware, as iOS 26 drops support for those models.
