iOS 19 will not drop support for any iPhone models, according to French site iPhoneSoft.fr. The report cites a source within Apple.

The report states that iOS 19 will be compatible with any iPhone capable of running iOS 18, which would mean the following models:

  • iPhone16
  • iPhone 16 Plus
  • iPhone 16 Pro
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max
  • iPhone15
  • iPhone 15 Plus
  • iPhone 15 Pro
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max
  • iPhone14
  • iPhone 14 Plus
  • iPhone 14 Pro
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max
  • iPhone13
  • iPhone 13 mini
  • iPhone 13 Pro
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max
  • iPhone12
  • iPhone 12 mini
  • iPhone 12 Pro
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max
  • iPhone11
  • iPhone 11 Pro
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max
  • iPhoneX
  • iPhone XS Max
  • iPhone XR
  • iPhone SE (2nd generation or later)

The oldest devices on this list are the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, all released in September 2018.

Of course, some features of iOS 19 will not be available on older iPhone models.

If this report is accurate, this would be the second year in a row that Apple has not dropped support for any iPhone models with its major annual iOS release. iOS 18 is compatible with the same iPhone models as iOS 17.

iOS 17 dropped support for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

There is slightly worse news for iPadOS 19, as the report states that this update will remove support for the iPad 7 as of 2019. Fortunately, the report states that all other iPad models that can run iPadOS 18 will be compatible with iPadOS 19 next year.

The first beta versions of iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 are expected to be released at WWDC 2025 next June, with updates expected to be released in September. Few iOS 19 features have been rumored yet, but Siri is expected to become more conversational like ChatGPT in an upcoming iOS 19.4 update, which is expected to be released around March 2026.
