What is iOS 18?
To put it simply, iOS 18 refers to the latest generation of iOS which is based on “Apple Intelligence” to offer a wide range of features to its users. Furthermore, it combines generative models with your context to deliver the relevant intelligence without jeopardizing your privacy.
- Revamped Photos App
- Control Center Customizations
- Mail Improvements
- Text Effects and Custom “Genmoji” in Messages
- RCS Support
Though these iOS 18 features may likely dominate the Apple ecosystem, “Apple Intelligence” is the only feature that is limited to fewer models. Before diving into the list of Apple devices eligible for “Apple Intelligence”, let’s understand what it exactly means!
What is the Hype Around “Apple Intelligence”?
One of the major highlights of Apple Intelligence is that it is limited to iPhone 15 pro and iPhone 16 (all models) because the heavy processing is done for privacy purposes while keeping the user data safe. Furthermore, Apple Intelligence may help improve writing across the operating system which makes “the new iOS 18 Siri” much smarter and better.
Here is a list of the popular Apple Intelligence features.
- Writing Tools
- Siri
- Priority Messages
- Smart Reply
- Minimize Interruptions Focus
- Audio Recordings & Transcripts
- Genmoji
If you want to install Apple Intelligence on your Apple iPhone, make sure you simply go to “Settings” and then click “Apple Intelligence & Siri” and then click on “Apple Intelligence Waiting List”. After joining the waiting list, Apple Intelligence is usually available for activation within a few hours of joining the waiting list.
However, the waiting times may vary from one device to another. Then, the users shall receive a notification where they can easily activate it on their iPhone. Once the activation is done, the Apple Intelligence will then be downloaded.
Though you know the steps to install intelligence, you should ask yourself- Is your iPhone eligible?
What iPhone Models are Eligible for Apple Intelligence?
Here is a list of the Apple iPhone models that will be eligible for Apple Intelligence.
- iPhone 16 (iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max)
- iPhone 15 (iPhone 15 Pro & iPhone 15 Pro Max)

As excited to learn more about the new features of iOS 18, the wait may be longer than expected. Without further ado, let’s dive into the most anticipated features of iOS 18 that might come in 2025!
What are the Upcoming Features of iOS 18 that Could Amaze the Apple Fanbase?
Though there is a great deal of speculation that there would be a wide range of iOS 18 features, we’ve got your hands on some of the legitimate and proven features that have higher chances of being released next year. Let’s discuss them quickly.
- New Emoji: After a major iOS update, Apple generally releases new emojis in a few months. If the company follows the same trend this year, it could bring iOS 18.4 new emojis.
- Context Understanding: Since the all-new Apple Intelligence comes with an on-device semantic index, Siri can easily understand messages, emails, files, calendar events, and more, which may help provide answers to queries.
- On-Screen Awareness: Siri can now easily understand and take action with things on your screen when a friend texts you recommending a new coffee shop in the neighborhood. With the new iOS 18 update, users will easily find the location, taste, menu items and travel time to get there.
- In-App Actions: Another major update that will be launched is that the new Siri can easily take hundreds of new actions on your behalf in both first and third-party apps such as adding a note, editing a photo, and more.
- New Style of Sketch: The new iOS 18 update will include the “Image Playground” feature which would allow users to get their hands on animations and illustration styles. But the sketch style feature will take some more time to launch. However, it is currently available as an option in Image Wand but not for the “Image Playground App”.
- Robot Vacuum Cleaners: Though it sounds new, it will likely make a real big impact next year when it arrives. Apple iPhone users can easily make the best use of “Robot Vacuum Cleaners”, so they can participate in automation and everything can be activated with “Siri”.
- Hassle-free Integration: Speaking of the current generation, Apple only supports ChatGPT integration for “writing” tools. However, there are chances that the mobile platform will likely work with Google Gemini and more.
Note: There are significant chances that most Apple Intelligence features related to Siri could be delayed to iOS 19 and beyond. Apple users who want to go in-depth into the intelligence features can wait for the iOS 19 update.
