Is iOS 18 available for iPhone 11?

You may be wondering, “Is iOS 18 available for iPhone 11?” As luck would have it, if you have an iPhone 11, your device does, indeed, make the cut for iOS 18.

Of course, iOS 18 is available for newer devices like the iPhone 15, 14, and 13 and 12 series. However, phones like the iPhone 11 series, the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, iPhone XR are getting iOS 18 support, too. Plus, if you have an iPhone SE, you can upgrade to iOS 18 — but only if you have the second-generation model or newer.

Still, just because you’re getting iOS 18 doesn’t mean you’re getting all the new features.

Is iOS 18 available for iPhone 11?

As mentioned, iOS 18 does, indeed, support iPhone 11. But there is a catch.

While you may get iOS 18 features like the redesigned Control Center and the new Dark Look perk, you won’t get Apple Intelligence features like Genmoji and ChatGPT integration. These will be reserved for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

iPhone 11 will also not get Messages via Satellite, Audio Transcription in Notes, the new eye-tracking accessibility feature, and more. However, if there’s any solace, iPhone 11 users will receive the updates to Messages (e.g., tapping back to texts with any emoji and scheduling messages). You can also program certain apps to trigger Face ID authentication with the new ID-authenticated app lock feature.

There are plenty other features that iPhone 11 users can enjoy with iOS 18 — and you can play around with them when Apple officially rolls out the major update to compatible devices later this year.
