IOS 26 is now official where Apple has revealed the new – and recently renamed – software on its WWDC 2025 Keynote.
This upgrade packs a whole new look and a wealth of features and improvements, so it seems to be the biggest iOS upgrade in a long time. It’s not yet done, but we know what phones it will be compatible with when it is launched later in the year.

Below you will find a list of the devices that are compatible with iOS 26, and most importantly those who have had their final update with iOS 18.
Which 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, iPhone 12 11 Pro Max, iPhone SE (2020) and iPhone SE (2022).
If you have any of these, you will be able to update to the finished software when it is launched (probably in September) and before that you will be able to install iOS 26 betas if you want to try it early.
And of course, the sour-to-to be upcoming iPhone 17 Series will also support iOS 26, and these phones will almost certainly send with the new software.
Which phones are not compatible with iOS 26?
While a large number of iPhones are compatible with iOS 26, Apple has dropped support for iPhone XS, iPhone XS MAX and iPhone XR – so while these phones are compatible with last year’s software (iOS 18), they can’t install iOS 26.
It is likely that the iPhone 11 series and maybe iPhone SE (2020) will get their last big update with iOS 26 as they are the oldest models to get it, but we don’t know for sure until next year.
