IPhone devotees, hear: This fall is coming to Apple’s operating system tons of new updates that you will be excited to try. But instead of naming iOS 19, it will be called iOS 26. The biggest change? The design of a new liquid glass (think about Windows Vista, but more thinking than the argument), which seems to be Apple’s largest visual update over the years. We spent two weeks in the test drive-you can check our detailed hand on iOS 26 previews, or you can try yourself by downloading and installing the available public beta. Before diving, we will help you answer this question: Will my iPhone be able to run iOS 26?
Last year, Apple did not add to any of its eligibility list, but not for 2025 – this time some models are decreasing. All the iPhone 8 models and the iPhone X were the last to get the boot in 2023, and the 2018 models are behind this year. If you have a disqualified device, you will not be able to download iOS 26 when you are available this fall.
We will come down in which iPhones will support iOS 26 this year. To see what is happening with the latest OS and much more, check out everything announced in Apple’s WWDC 9 June event.
These three will not be compatible with iPhone iOS 26
Unlike last year, many iPhone models will not be able to download the latest iOS when they start their first start in this fall. These three of the first -released models in 2018 will not come to the iOS 26 party:
IPhone x r
IPhone x
IPhone XS Max
IPhones are compatible with 26
Although we do not yet know that Apple is falling this fall – even though there are iPhone 17 rumors – we know, according to Apple’s site, that the phone listed below will be compatible with iOS 26. Basically, if you have an iPhone announced in 2019 or after, you are clear: You are clear: You are clear:
What if I don’t want to buy a new iPhone?
If you want to continue using your old iPhone that is not supported by iOS 26, that’s fine. However, you will lose security works that can potentially risk malware and other risks to your phone. In addition, some apps may stop working if they need iOS or a particular version later. And of course, you won’t be able to access the latest features offered by iOS 26.
iOS 26 When will be available?
Apple usually rolls its latest iOS in mid -September, just a few days before the new iPhone collided with the store. Last year, he released on Monday, September 16, on IOS 18. Expect to confirm the release date in the expected iPhone 17 event in early September.
iOS 26 features about whom we are passionate about
The design of the liquid glass: Your home screen is getting better with new app icons, including Dark Mode and all clean options. You will also see a new floating design button. The liquid glass was designed to make all Apple’s OSS more compatible.
Re -design to the phone app: You will eventually scroll to a screen through contacts, recent calls and voicemail messages. It also features a new feature called Hold Assist that will inform you when you come on the phone so you can avoid lift music.
Directly translated: The iOS 26 is bringing the ability to communicate with someone else through a phone call or text message. Direct translation will translate your conversation in real time.
Polls feature: Chat members will be able to produce the pool in the messages app on group messages. When it comes to deciding which restaurants you are meeting this weekend can help prevent unwanted 30+ messages.
