iOS 18 is no outlier in that regard.
Several new features in iOS 18 will arrive via subsequent updates released later this year and next.
Core features like changing cleaning mode and viewing charge status are supported.
Moreover, scheduling guest access requires a Matter-compatible smart lock that supports scheduling.
The Taptic Engine inside your iPhone produces taps, textures, and refined vibrations based on what’s playing.
This works across the Apple Music catalog, and developers can add music haptics to their apps.
This is another accessibility feature that only works on the iPhone 12 and later.
What About Apple Intelligence?
Yup, you read that right.
Apple
On the Mac and iPad, Apple Intelligence requires an Apple Silicon chip like the Apple M1 or newer.
Others like Messages via satellite need specific iPhone hardware.
Gaming With AirPods
Low Bluetooth audio latency in Game Mode is exclusive to the AirPods Pro 2.
Apple
Spatial audio in games requires the AirPods 3, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max.
Voice Isolation on AirPods
iOS 18 brings the Voice Isolation feature to the latest AirPods Pro 2.
You’ll also notice improved voice quality when chatting with teammates and other players whilst playing a game.
Apple
This leaves the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone SE owners locked out.
I’ve long used this trick to access region-restricted features like Apple News.
InSight in the Apple TV App
InSight is like X-Ray on Prime Video.
InSight only works with Apple Originals movies and TV shows, so you’ll need an Apple TV+ subscription.
Apple reserves the right to lower the limits during the beta phase without notice.
Does Your iPhone Support iOS 18?

As evidenced byApple’s iOS Feature Availability page, many features are subject to various restrictions.
