Apple’s upcoming iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 software updates will be compatible with the following iPhone and iPad devices.
iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 Won’t be Compatible with Every Single iPhone and iPad, Something to be Expected
Previously, it was rumored that every single iPhone and iPad would receive the iOS 19 update. Today, it seems like that’s not the case.
According to information shared on X by a very reliable leaker, iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 are going to drop support for some devices.
Those devices include the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max. The rest of the compatible iPhones are as follows:
- iPhone 16e
- iPhone 16 Plus
- iPhone 16
- iPhone 16 Pro Max
- iPhone 16 Pro
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 15 Pro

- iPhone 12 Pro Max
- iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro
- iPhone 12 mini
- iPhone SE (2nd-generation)
- iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max

On the iPad side of things, support for the 7th-generation iPad will be dropped, and it makes sense, since it’s an ancient device at this point.
Having said that, every other iPad model that currently supports iPadOS 18 will be able to run iPadOS 19.

Apple is going to announce the first beta of iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 in June at WWDC 2025. On the same day, we will officially know which devices will be compatible with the latest software.
iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 are expected to feature major design and UI upgrades.
