Apple iOS 19: Which iPhones Will Get the Upgrade?
Apple fans are eagerly awaiting the release of iOS 19, the next iteration of Apple’s mobile operating system. While official details remain scarce, recent reports from sources like iPhone soft shed light on which devices can expect the upgrade. According to these reports, Apple plans to maintain support for all iPhones currently running iOS 18.
This means that models like the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and others compatible with iOS 18 are likely in line for the iOS 19 update. However, it’s important to note that older devices might not be able to utilize all the new features. This has become a trend in recent apple updates, with some advanced functionalities reserved for newer hardware.
“Apple does not intend to drop support for any of the iPhones currently running iOS 18,” a source reportedly told iPhone Soft.
The situation is slightly different for iPads. Reports suggest that some older iPad models, such as the seventh-generation iPad (released in 2019 with the A10 processor), may not be eligible for the iPadOS 19 update. This highlights Apple’s ongoing strategy of focusing on newer devices for its moast advanced features.
The timeline for the iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 rollout is expected to follow Apple’s usual pattern. Beta versions are anticipated to be released to developers next June during the worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2025), with the public release likely arriving in september.
Bloomberg previously hinted at a phased rollout of iOS 19 features, similar to the approach taken with artificial intelligence features in iOS 18. While iOS 19 might not be as feature-packed as its predecessor, improvements to Apple’s “Intelligence” technologies are expected to be a key focus.
This news will undoubtedly be welcomed by many iPhone users, ensuring a longer lifespan for their devices. However, the potential limitations on feature access for older devices underscore the importance of considering hardware upgrades as technology continues to evolve.
