Apple announced that the new operating system versions for this year will be iOS 18 for iPhone, iPadOS 18 for iPad, watchOS 11 for Apple Watch, and macOS Sequoia for Mac. The general update for all users will be released next week on September 17th. Apple has also released RC versions of all operating systems for developers to test the final stage today.
It is noteworthy that this is the first year in several years that the new macOS version is getting a general update on the same day as iOS. In the past, macOS updates have usually been delayed by 2-4 weeks.
The key highlight of this year’s iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia operating systems is the Apple Intelligence AI capabilities. However, Apple mentioned that this feature will not be available in the initial update and will be added in subsequent updates in October.
