One of the most popular is undoubtedly <strong>Apple Intelligente<\/strong>. It gives us the possibility to &#8220;rewrite, review, and summarize text in almost any part of the ecosystem,&#8221; as Apple itself explains on its website. Although we have not been able to try it yet, there are other functions that are accessible through the iOS 18 betas, such as <strong>iPhone Mirroring<\/strong> and <strong>customization<\/strong> controls. However, several older models of iPhone will not get to experience any of these tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specifically, we are referring to the <strong>iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X<\/strong>. The main line&#8217;s progressive abandonment of the Home button will not include iOS 18. They were also unable to update to iOS 17, so this was to be expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/iPhone-16-color.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-337097\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can&#8217;t complain. This line of iPhones, first introduced in 2017, has had<strong> 7 years of official updates<\/strong>, which is excellent for the mobile world. Fortunately for owners of these iPhones, they will continue to receive security patches for at least a few more years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if your iPhone 8, 8 Plus or X is still working smoothly, <strong>you won&#8217;t have many reasons to change it<\/strong>. In case you want to enjoy all the new features of iOS 18, you will have no choice but to get a more current iPhone, like the iPhone 15.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Apple Support\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/952ecafe-c8f3-11e6-99be-00163ed833e7\/113066912\/apple-support-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Apple Support<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-support.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apple-support.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last June, Apple celebrated in style the WWDC24, its developer conference.
