Why does my iPhone 16 Pro have iOS 18.0 but I can’t find a way to activate developer mode anywhere?

I just upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro and it has iOS 18.0. I don't see the developer mode option anywhere! I've seen some people saying I have to fully reset my iPhone, and others saying I need to download some apps. I don't want to do the former, and the latter seems shady. Am I missing something? Isn't there a straight forward way of activating developer mode on iOS 18?
