Every time Apple prepares a new version of its iOS operating system, users of older iPhones wonder if their device will still be compatible with this new version. Normally, iOS 19 should be presented in June 2025, during the WWDC conference. Then, the new version should be available from September, if Apple does not deviate from its traditions.
Devices compatible with iOS 19 and iPadOS 19
In the meantime, many rumors are already circulating about iOS 19. And recently, the website iphonesoft.fr published a list of iPhones that would be compatible with this version of the OS, in 2025. According to the source cited by this media, iOS 19 would be compatible with all iPhones released in 2018 and after. In other words, this version will be compatible with the following models:
- iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max
- iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max
- iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max
- iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max
- iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max
- iPhone XS/XS Max, iPhone XR
- iPhone SE 3
- iPhone SE 2
Of course, iOS 19 will also be compatible with future iPhones that will be released in 2025: the new iPhone SE, the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The source from iphonesoft.fr also gave the list of iPads that would be 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)
You probably won't have all the features
As usual, the information should be treated with caution, since it does not come from an official source. In addition, it should be noted that, even if very old models like the iPhone XS still receive the iOS 19 update, they will probably not be compatible with all of Apple's new features, due to hardware limitations. In general, Apple tries to offer new versions of its OS to as many users as possible, but reserves certain features for the most recent models.
For example, the iOS 18.1 update brought Apple Intelligence to the iPhone. However, this new feature is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
- Apple will release the iOS 19 update in 2025
- According to a publication by iphonesoft.fr, this update would be compatible with all models released in 2018 and after
- The media also publishes a list of iPads that would be compatible with iPadOS 19
- On the other hand, it is very likely that certain iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 features will be reserved for the most recent models
