iOS 18 supports the same iPhone model as iOS 17, including the iPhone XS which was released in 2018. Apple's long-term support ensures users get the latest features, increased security, and bug fixes.

Apple also makes it easier for users to stick to their current iOS version if they are not ready to switch to the latest version. When iOS 18 was released in September, Apple also launched iOS 17.7, giving users the option to update to iOS 18 or stick to iOS 17.7 while still getting important security improvements.

Lastly, Apple released iOS 17.7.2 and iPadOS 17.7.2 in November, ensuring users still have a safe experience despite not updating to iOS 18.
