Apple has a history of supporting its iPhone models for a minimum of five years, sometimes even extending it to seven years. As iOS 18 approaches, many users are curious about which iPhones will be compatible with the new operating system. A recent leak may have the answer.

In the past, Apple has discontinued support for older iPhone models with the release of new iOS versions. However, this year seems to be different. According to a leak from @NikiasMolina, all iPhone models that were compatible with iOS 17 will also be eligible for iOS 18.

Here are the iPhone models that are expected to receive iOS 18:

– iPhone SE (1st and 2nd generation)
– iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
– iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
– iPhone 8 and 8 Plus

– iPhone XS and XS Max
– iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max
– iPhone SE (2nd generation)

– And potentially newer models released before the launch of iOS 18

During the Worldwide Developers Conference today, we’ll get confirmation from Apple on which models will receive iOS 18. The update is expected to be significant, with features like AI integration across various apps like Siri and Safari.
