Apple looks set to unveil iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 this month, but not every iPhone will support the new software upgrade.
Despite offering some of the best software support in the industry, Apple regularly leaves a handful of iPhones out in the cold when releasing a new version of iOS — the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max, for instance, can’t run iOS 26 — and the company looks set to continue the trend in 2026.
According to 9to5Mac, the iPhone SE (2020), iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max won’t support iOS 27, meaning you’ll need the iPhone 12 or newer to make use of Apple’s upcoming software features.

It’s also unlikely that any iOS 27-compatible iPhones will be left waiting for the update, since Apple tends to make new versions of iOS available to all models in one fell swoop (take note, Samsung).
It’s worth noting, however, that even though older models like the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14 will support iOS 27, Apple Intelligence features will remain locked to the iPhone 15 Pro and newer.
The headline feature of iOS 27 will likely be Apple’s redesigned Siri, which will almost certainly be part of Apple…
