Apple introduced the iPhone 15 series and the new operating system iOS 17 at an event held in September. However, in the rapidly advancing world of technology, the company cannot afford to waste time. Therefore, the tech giant immediately started working on the iPhone 16 and iOS 18 right after the introduction event. It seems that Apple didn’t start so early without reason, as iOS 18 is expected to bring significant changes. Here are the details…

Major iOS 18 Upgrade Essential for Unimpressive iPhone 16

iOS 18 has been in the spotlight for the past few weeks. We recently mentioned that the operating system has some issues, leading Apple to suspend the development process. It appears that the company is justified in being meticulous because iOS 18 is set to revolutionize everything for the iPhone.

According to industry predictions and comments from Mark Gurman, who is known for his insights into the sector, the iPhone 16 series won’t bring a significant change. While screen sizes may increase, the lack of innovation in hardware will be compensated by software updates. According to information received, Apple has already completed the basic versions of the new iOS and macOS releases. The problems that caused the suspension of the process are now apparent.

The company is expected to resolve quality issues within the next few weeks and start working on new features. Unfortunately, no one has precise information about how these features will be. However, recent developments have sparked some concerns that Apple may go overboard with the new version.

As you know, iPhones are famous for receiving long-term update support. However, it’s a known fact that the combination of new hardware and features can be unsuccessful. Therefore, we might see a disappointing change in the iPhone models that will receive the iOS 18 update. Additionally, even if these older models receive updates, they may not satisfy users in terms of performance.

This year, we are expected to bid farewell to three models from this series. Let’s remember that the list is not final and may change.
