Your iPhone and iPad can get a major upgrade today: iOS 18 & iPadOS 18 are now live
iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia and watchOS 11 have all now left beta and are available for download
Apple has finally unleashed the latest versions of all its major smartphone, tablet and smartwatch software. iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and watchOS 11 have all now left beta and are available for download – plus there’s macOS , too.
The release comes more than three months after first revealing the headline features of each at this year’s Apple WWDC event.
It’s just a few days before the new iPhone 16 line-up goes on sale. iOS 18 is available by default on the new iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
As always, you can go to Settings > General > Software Update to download the new OSes now. Not sure if it’ll run on your iPhone? Check out our guide to Apple’s iOS 18 system requirements. Rinse and repeat the above on your iPad to grab iPadOS 17, which shares many of the same new features. Make sure you check our iPadOS 18 system requirements before you do.
If you have an Apple Watch that’s from Series 6 or later, you’ll also be able to download watchOS 11 today as well. Head to the Watch app on your iPhone and jump into General > Software Update to find the newest software for the smartwatch.
Mac users aren’t left behind – Apple’s latest Mac software is also here – macOS 15 or macOS Seqoia. Check out if it will run on your Mac.
