8 iPhones won’t be compatible with new iOS18 update

A whole host of iPhones will not be compatible with the upcoming iOS18 update as Apple toys with integrated artificial intelligence software.

iPhones are set for a major shakeup in the coming months as Apple plays with the idea of fully integrated AI. Perhaps more interestingly is the company’s rumored plan of allowing customers to fully customize their home screens.

The iOS18 update is expected later this year

As Apple winds up to release its “biggest” update yet some users will be devastated to learn that their phone will not be able to hold the chunky update.

Phones not cleared to receive the update include:

The tech in question were made before 2018, meaning they possess either the A11 Bionic chip or the A10 Fusion chip. Instead, the iOS18 update will require the A12 Bionic chip, which was launched alongside the iPhone XR and iPhone XS models.

Phones able to take the update include:

The new update is set to be unveiled at the 2024 World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) from June 10 to June 14. Alongside the highly anticipated update, customers are expecting new details on the Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and TV systems.

More on iOS18

Though the developer has confirmed nothing as of yet, industry insiders have teased new features like adaptive voice shortcuts and fully customizable font settings.

Of course, the crowning jewel of the update is the possible AI integration, which was said to include Google’s own controversial system, Gemini. It’s also rumored that Siri will be getting an AI upgrade alongside a brand-new AI buddy called Ajax.

Ajax will reportedly assist with summarizing content and answering complex questions. He will also work across numerous Apple-owned apps including Apple Music, Keynote, Pages, and Messages.
