But, for those who don't want to play in the beta and are waiting for the full, official iOS 18, the crucial question is when Apple will release the update to the general public.
When Apple releases iOS 18, it will find support on many devices. However, not every iPhone will get the new iOS 18 features. A major one would be Apple Intelligence, which will only be available on the iPhone 16 series and the current iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max .
When will Apple release iOS 18?
Typically, Apple doesn't announce when it will release its latest iOS updates.
However, in previous years, the company has generally launched its iOS updates within seven days of its iPhone event. In the last three years, the newest iOS version has been released within six days of the iPhone event.
With Apple moving this year's iPhone 16 to a Monday over their usual Tuesday schedule, we can expect to see iOS 18 launch within the week.

You'll probably see iOS 18 on supported iPhones on Monday, September 16. If they get impatient and release it early, we might see it on Friday, September 13, though that is an ominous date. So, we'll stick to Monday.
