  • If you own an iPhone X or older - you should throw it over the next bri

    From Andrew@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 28 04:24:37 2024
    Which iPhone models will get iOS 18 https://www.zdnet.com/article/every-iphone-model-that-can-be-updated-to-apples-new-ios-18-public-beta-and-which-ones-cant/

    In keeping with Apple having the worst hotfix support in the industry,
    Apple is the only operating system vendor who fully supports only a single release (all other OS vendors except Apple have always fully supported
    multiple releases simultaneously - so it's just Apple whose support sucks).

    According to Apple, these iPhone models will get iOS 18 when it becomes
    widely available:

    iPhone 15
    iPhone 15 Plus
    iPhone 15 Pro
    iPhone 15 Pro Max
    iPhone 14
    iPhone 14 Plus
    iPhone 14 Pro
    iPhone 14 Pro Max
    iPhone 13
    iPhone 13 mini
    iPhone 13 Pro
    iPhone 13 Pro Max
    iPhone 12
    iPhone 12 mini
    iPhone 12 Pro
    iPhone 12 Pro Max
    iPhone 11
    iPhone 11 Pro
    iPhone 11 Pro Max
    iPhone XS
    iPhone XS Max
    iPhone XR
    iPhone SE (2nd generation or later)

    Notably, the once-popular iPhone X model is not on the list.

    In addition, all older devices like the iPhone 8 series also didn't make
    the cut this year. As for what's to come, Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 16 lineup in September with iOS 18, presumably with new A18 silicon.
