iOS 19 will not be removed from any iPhone model, according to French site iPhoneSoft. fr. The report cites a source within Apple.
The oldest on this list are the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, all released in September 2018.
Of course, some iOS 19 features will be unavailable on older iPhone models.
If this report is accurate, it would be the second year in a row in which Apple did not drop support for any iPhone models with its major annual iOS release. iOS 18 is compatible with the same iPhone models as iOS 17 is.
iOS 17 dropped for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.
There is slightly worse news for iPadOS 19, as the report said that update will drop support for the iPad 7 from 2019. Fortunately, the report said all other iPad models that can run iPadOS 18 will be compatible with iPadOS 19 next year.
The first beta versions of iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 are expected to launch at WWDC 2025 next June, with updates expected to roll out in September. Few iOS 19 features have been rumored yet, but Siri is expected to be more conversational like ChatGPT in an upcoming iOS 19. 4 update, which is expected to release around March 2026.
