IOS 26 is now official, Apple having unveiled the new software and newly renowned in its Keynote WWDC 2025.
This upgrade contains a whole new appearance and a multitude of features and improvements, so it seems to be the largest iOS upgrade in a certain time. It’s not over yet, but we know with which phones it will be compatible when it was launched later this year.

Below, you will find a list of devices compatible with iOS 26, and especially those who have had their final update with iOS 18.
What phones are compatible with iOS 26?
iOS 26 will be available for the following iPhones:
iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 pro, iPhone 16 pro Max, iPhone 16e, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11, iPhone 11, iPhone 11, iPhone 11, iPhone 11, iPhone 11, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2020), and iPhone SE (2022).
If you have, you can update the finished software when it was launched (probably in September), and before that, you can install iOS 26 beta if you want to try it early.
And of course, the next iPhone 17 series will be supported iOS 26, and these phones will almost certainly be shipped with the new software.
What phones are not compatible with iOS 26?
Although a large number of iPhones are compatible with iOS 26, Apple has abandoned the management of the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR – so although these phones are compatible with the software from last year (iOS 18), they will not be able to install iOS 26.
It is likely that the iPhone 11 series and perhaps the iPhone SE (2020) will obtain their last major update with iOS 26, because these are the oldest models to obtain it, but we will not know it with certainty before next year.
