Today we will review what models would be compatible with iOS 19, and which would enter the obsolete by Apple, and what this would mean for people who possess one, since it does not mean that they cannot continue to use it.
What iPhones will not have iOS 19
Although, as every year, this will not be confirmed until the Developer Conference that we will see in early June, that is, in about two months, it is true that rumors about the possible iPhone models that iOS 19 will endure, and those that are not strong.
At first, as we said, it seemed that Apple was going to surprise, and maintain, another year, all models Compatible with the current versionhowever, it seems that it will not be so, and it is logical, because there are models that have not been updated for years, such as the iPhone X, while others, such as the XS (their successor) continued to do so.
Everything points to what There will be 3 devices that will lose updatesand, therefore, they will stay in iOS 18, which has about 6 months left, which is not bad, at least for a model of 7 years ago.
These would be the iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Maxso they could not premiere the new version of iOS 19, and the people who own one would have the option to change model for it, however, this does not mean that they have to renew it necessarily, and although Apple will mark them as obsolete, and they will not receive new patches, which can be a problem for security, they will continue to function, being able to execute app for at least 2 or 3 years without problem, until the developers begin to demand, at least, iOS 19, something that does not usually happen until a while.
The Complete list of iOS 19 devices I would be:
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro and 11 pro max
- iPhone 12 and 12 Mini
- iPhone 12 Pro and 12 pro max
- iPhone 13 and 13 Mini
- iPhone 13 Pro and 13 pro max
- iPhone 14 and 14 Plus
- iPhone 14 Pro and 14 pro max
- iPhone 15 and 15 Plus
- iPhone 15 Pro and 15 pro max
- iPhone 16E
- iPhone 16 and 16 Plus
- iPhone 16 Pro and 16 pro max
- iPhone SE (second generation)
- iPhone SE (3rd generation)
- All iPhone 17 that are presented
This means that, the iPhone 11, despite being on the tightrope, would endure one more year, great news for all the holders of this model, which although it also has its years, there are many people who still use it, and to be able to try iOS 19 in it, it is a joy, although it will be necessary to see how it behaves, because it is likely that the performance is not the best, and hence other models no longer go to have the possibility of it.
