Apple recently announced iOS 26 (originally expected as iOS 19).
Which iPhones are compatible with this update?
If you're wondering whether your device made the cut, here's a quick summary:
✅ iPhones That Support iOS 26
- iPhone 11 and newer (including iPhone 12, 13, 14, 15)
- iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation)
❌ iPhones No Longer Supported
- iPhone XR

Why This Matters
New iOS versions usually include major security improvements and privacy features. If your device isn’t compatible, it means:
- You’ll stay on the previous iOS version (likely iOS 18)
- You might miss out on future privacy protections and advanced threat detection
- You may need extra security tools to stay protected
