The time has come for Apple to officially announce its new iPhone 16 series, alongside other new devices, and, of course - the exact day you can expect the iOS 18 software update.

At today's so-called Glowtime event, the Cupertino giant made it official - iOS 18 is coming to supported iPhones on September 16. The release day for iPadOS 18 is also that one.

This is the day iPhone 16 users can update their software and get all the promised iOS 18 features, although if you're waiting for the crowning selling point - Apple Intelligence - there is a caveat.

Apple Intelligence is expected to arrive in its fullest only on the iPhone 16 models, only in the US (at first), and only when iOS 18.1 comes around sometime in October.

The iOS 18 update will be available to all iPhones in the following series:

Note, again, that the Apple Intelligence feature will only be coming to iPhone 16 models, though.

However, as is the case with the iPhones, Apple Intelligence is unsurprisingly only limited to certain iPad models - those powered by the M1 chip, M2, M3 or M4.
