iOS 26 is Compatible With the iPhone 11 and Newer

[JAQ]

So... we're back to the Windows 95-98-2000 convention of using years as version numbers. {SIGH}

I'm disappointed that my phone is on this list. I was hoping I wasn't going to have make a decision about infecting my phone with the latest eye-diabetes and AI slop... but now I have to.

Will the iPhone 17 also be supported? I mean iPhone 26?

Who thought this was a good idea?

That's going to make things harder to read.

dude, stop complaining for once. They are not forcing you to use it! Kids and next gen will use this, they will like it, and they will have no issue in reading the text on it. Its only old dudes like you who have issues with this, but have option not to use it. Not all the things need to wrap around your reality distortion feel. Wake up.

If they had kept support for the XS and Xr I would agree, however since they are supporting lesser specced iPads with iPadOS 26, then not overly fair imho.

Yes the XS is getting on, but phone support cycles should be getting longer, not stagnating/decreasing as we’ve seen in recent years.

Agreed. I still use my XS Max every day, which is still a great phone, while the 13 stays in the drawer.
