It is difficult to predict with certainty the exact list of iOS 19 compatible devicessince Apple has not yet announced this update and there are many months ahead until we know something about the software. However, several sources within the company are willing to alleviate our anxiety with some pretty juicy information.
In this way, today we woke up with the news that several media outlets are already stating which brand devices will be, or rather, would be, compatible with iOS 19.
What iPhone models will receive iOS 19?
According to the rumors we woke up to, iOS 19 will be compatible with any iPhone that supports iOS 18that is, there is no change with respect to what we already know.
- iPhone 16
- iPhone 16 Plus
- iPhone 16 Pro
- iPhone 16 Pro Max
- 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 Pro Max
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone SE (2nd generation or newer)
The oldest devices on this list are the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone 7 years of updates.
Of course, we suppose that some iOS 19 features They will not be available on older iPhone models, but, if the rumors are true, it will be the second year in a row that Apple will not stop offering support for any iPhone model with the release of a major annual operating system update. Let’s remember that iOS 18 is compatible with the same iPhone models as iOS 17.
And what about iPads?
As for the Cupertino tablets, the truth is that Apple usually has a good history of updates for iPads, which sometimes go beyond 7 years, like the iPad 5 which currently supports iPadOS 18. But good things don’t last forever and it seems that iOS 19 will mean the end of support for several of these devices.
Everything seems to indicate that the A10 chip of the iPad 7 is not powerful enough for what iOS 19 has to offer, so the tablets equipped with this processor, as well as the iPad Pro 2017, will be left without trying the honeys of the new system operating, iPadOS 19 in this case. Rumors say that only terminals with at least an A12 will be able to install the update. Therefore, these would be the models compatible with iPadOS 19:
- iPad mini (5th generation or later)
- iPad (8th generation or later)
- iPad Air (3rd generation or later)
- iPad Pro (2018 or later)
It is expected that the first versions iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 beta will be released in June 2025 during WWDC, and that the final updates will be released in September, as usual. Although not much is known yet about the features of iOS 19, Siri is expected to become smarter thanks to the support of ChatGPT.
