  • Following three months of beta testing, iOS 18 is now available to all users globally.
  • The update introduces dark and tinted app icons, a more flexible Control Center, support for RCS, an overhauled Photos app, and more.
  • The initial version doesn’t offer any Apple Intelligence features, as these will be included in October’s iOS 18.1 release.

Apple first previewed iOS 18 back in June, giving users an early look at upcoming iPhone features. Since then, the company has tested pre-release builds with developers and enthusiasts to optimize the operating system’s performance. After three long months, Apple is finally ready to expand iOS 18’s availability to the public, and you can get your hands on the release right away.
