Does your iPhone support Apple's new iOS 18 update, and when can you expect it to release? Let's find out.

iOS 18: Supported iPhones and expected release date

At WWDC 2024, Apple announced it would release iOS 18 to the general public this fall, and the update would bring new features, like customizable home screen and upgrades to Messages, to your iPhone.

Apple lets you search in iOS or iPadOS to find apps by name but doesn’t tell you where they are if you have many folders and Home Screen pages. You can both hide Home Screen pages and delete apps from the Home Screen, creating two paths to find missing apps if you want to make them more accessible for launching with a tap from a Home Screen page you use frequently.
