Apple is bringing major improvements to its smartphone operating system with iOS 18 – it opens the next chapter in AI, enables RCS, brings other communications features (text effects, emoji reactions, etc.), a password manager and improved customization features. And there is some good news: all iPhones that are currently running iOS 17 can be updated to iOS 18.
This means the iPhone XR, XS and XS Max from 2018 remain the oldest models that are still supported (they will turn 6-years old this September).

Across 101 enterprises, agent orchestration is consolidating onto model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads by a wide margin — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model and judged on reliable multi-step execution. But the ambition runs well ahead of the reality: most deployed “agents” are still chatbot wrappers, the control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid to avoid lock-in, and real-time fiscal control over token burn remains the exception.This...

Carrier-financed iPhones purchased from Apple will soon be locked to the carrier, ending a workaround customers used to purchase an unlocked iPhone on a payment plan.
