**ZDNET** has outlined the latest Apple software update, iOS 18, and which iPhone models will benefit from the new features.

**iOS 18 brings enhanced AI features**, including integrations in Siri, Photos, Messages, Health, and Calculator apps. However, these advanced AI features, known as “Apple Intelligence,” require an A17 Pro chipset or newer, found only on iPhone 15 Pro and newer models. While many older iPhones will receive iOS 18, they will miss out on the AI capabilities.

**Notably absent from the supported list is the iPhone X**, as well as older devices like the iPhone 8 series.

**The iOS 18 public beta is available now**, allowing users to test the software and report any bugs or performance issues before its official release in the fall. Apple’s September 9th event is expected to see the full release of iOS 18, with Apple Intelligence features rolling out gradually over the coming year.

**ZDNET provides guidance for trading in your older iPhone**, as it will no longer receive software updates. Resale and trade-in values vary depending on the device’s condition and storage capacity.

**Apple’s new iPhone 16 lineup will launch with iOS 18 pre-installed**, offering users the latest software experience.

ZDNET assures readers that its recommendations are based on extensive research, testing, and analysis, and are not influenced by advertising.
