The question of operating system compatibility for a specific iPhone model is frequently asked following the announcement of a new iOS version. In this instance, the query concerns the iPhone 13 and its potential to run iOS 18.
Operating system updates provide several advantages, including enhanced security features, performance improvements, and access to the latest software functionalities.
