Apple is set to release iOS 18 today, and if you’re eagerly waiting for the update on your iPhone, you’ll want to know when exactly it will be available in your region. iOS 18 is finally moving out of the beta phase, with the final release candidate already sent out to developers. While this update will bring new features across all compatible iPhones, it’s poised to shine on the iPhone 15 Pro and newer models, especially with the integration of advanced Apple Intelligence tools. Check out when iOS 18 will roll out in your time zone to know when it will hit your device.
Here’s When iOS 18 Will Be Available for Your iPhone in Your Time Zone
iOS 18 represents one of Apple’s biggest updates since the original iPhone was launched. The company is challenging conventions, especially with the changes to the Home Screen layout. For example, users can now create empty spaces on the Home Screen and adjust app icons to match the wallpaper – something Android users have had for years, but now it’s a welcome addition to iPhones.
Apple traditionally releases major iOS updates around 10:00 AM PT, which has been their standard time for launches and events. Based on past releases, iOS 18 is expected to follow the same timeline. However, it’s worth noting that sometimes updates arrive with a slight delay, so don’t be surprised if the update is an hour late. It’s a good idea to keep refreshing your phone for the latest iOS version.

To make things easier, we’ve compiled a timetable for various regions, so you can quickly check when iOS 18 will be available in your local time zone. This gives you a chance to prepare your iPhone for the update. Simply locate your region on the chart, note the corresponding time, and be ready when iOS 18 goes live.
If your region isn’t listed, you can visit timeanddate.com for a complete list of time zones. We will continue covering the iOS 18 release with more updates, so stay tuned for follow-up coverage. While iOS 18 is a must-install for all compatible iPhones, there are valid reasons why some users might want to hold off on installing the update right away. In some cases, it’s smarter to wait for iOS 18.1 for any potential bug fixes. However, if you’re keen on getting it now, clear your schedule and wait for the update to roll out as Apple’s servers are likely to be busy due to the global release.
