One day from now, Apple will kick off its It’s Glowtime event<\/span> (you can watch it here<\/span>) where it’ll announce the new iPhone 16 lineup<\/span>. Those phones will have iOS 18<\/span> already installed, so you won’t have to upgrade at purchase \u2014 here’s when the iPhone 16 models are expected to hit stores<\/span>. However, if you’re not getting one of the new iPhones, you may find that your older phone’s operating system isn’t supported by Apple.<\/p>\n

Generally each year, some older iPhone models are removed from Apple’s iOS eligibility list. Last year, for instance, the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X were left off the compatibility list. That meant those iPhone owners couldn’t update to iOS 17 and missed out on some notable features<\/span>.<\/p>\n

We’ll help you find out if your iPhone will support iOS 18 \u2014 which is expected to become available in roughly two weeks \u2014 as well as Apple Intelligence<\/span>. Not sure what’s coming with the new update? Here’s a summary of the biggest announcements from WWDC<\/span>, including an overview of iOS 18.<\/p>\n
