Apple took the wraps off iOS 18 at WWDC 2024. It is the newest significant upgrade for iOS, the operating system that powers the iPhone. In case you missed it, iOS 18 has a tonne of improvements that are meant to permanently alter the way you use your iPhone, making it possibly the largest and most ambitious iOS release in Apple history. Additionally, it is currently accessible and ready to be downloaded and set up on Apple iPhones that are compatible.

Prior to learning how to download and install it, you should be aware that the current version of iOS 18, which is 18 beta, is intended exclusively for developers to test their apps. Since it's a beta version, the general public shouldn't utilise it.
