Apple didn't drop a single iPhone from its iOS 27 compatibility list, giving every device that runs iOS 26 another year of major software support.
The new operating system was announced during Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote on Monday. iOS 27 will be available as a developer beta immediately, followed by a public beta later this summer and a general release in the fall.
Apple did not remove any iPhone models from its compatibility list this year. The company says iOS 27 supports the same devices as iOS 26, including the iPhone 11 lineup first released in 2019.

According to Apple's compatibility list, iOS 27 supports the following iPhone models:
- iPhone SE (2nd generation and later)
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone 12 mini

- iPhone 16 Plus
- iPhone 16 Pro
- iPhone 16 Pro Max
- iPhone 17e
- iPhone 17
- iPhone Air
- iPhone 17 Pro
- iPhone 17 Pro Max
The move continues Apple's long-standing practice of supporting iPhones for several years before removing them from the latest version of iOS. Released in September 2019, the iPhone 11 lineup remains eligible for another annual upgrade cycle.
While iOS 27 runs on devices dating back to 2019, not every feature will be available on every supported model. Apple has increasingly tied advanced Apple Intelligence features to newer hardware, particularly devices equipped with more powerful processors and additional memory.
That means some iOS 27 capabilities may remain limited to newer iPhone models even though the operating system itself supports a broader range of devices.
Users can check their device model by opening the Settings app, tapping General, and selecting About.
