These are the device requirements for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18
Both iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 are expected to launch later this year, but which iPhone and iPad models will be supported by the upcoming updates?
Thankfully, Apple has already confirmed the device requirements for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, so below, we’ve listed every supported iPhone and iPad.
We also have details on which iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 features won’t be available on every device, since Apple is restricting some of these tools to newer Apple chipsets.iOS 18 compatibility
Apple has confirmed that all iPhone models from the iPhone XS and newer (i.e. any iPhone with the A12 Bionic chipset or better) will be compatible with iOS 18. Incidentally, that’s the same eligibility criteria as iOS 17, so if you’re already running the latest version of Apple’s software, you’ll be able to download iOS 18, too.
The full list of iOS 18-compatible iPhones is as follows:
iPhone 15
iPhone 15 Plus
iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro Max
iPhone 14
iPhone 14 Plus
iPhone 14 Pro

Almost all iPad models are available in multiple sizes, as well as Wi-Fi-only and Wi-Fi + Cellular configurations, so in the interest of readability, we’ve grouped the below list of iPadOS 18-compatible models into dated categories:
iPad Pro models from 2018 and later (3rd generation onwards)
iPad Air models from 2019 and later (3rd generation onwards)
iPad models from 2020 and later (5th generation onwards)
iPad mini models from 2019 and later (5th generation onwards)
Unlike with iOS 17, not every iPad that runs iPadOS 17 today will be compatible with iPadOS 18.
