iOS 27 supported devices — see which iPhones did (and didn't) make the cut

Today at WWDC 2026, Apple revealed iOS 27 with a focus on upgrades to Apple Intelligence and Siri. However, there's also a lot of behind-the-scenes improvements to Liquid Glass and optimizing the work done in iOS 26.

Usually, when a new version of iOS is released, it means that a previous generation of older iPhones loses support. This year, though, if your phone can run iOS 26, then it'll be able to run iOS 27.

This means the iPhone 11, which can run iOS 26, should be able to run iOS 27. It speaks to the optimization of the update over major features that aren't AI-related. As with iOS 26, anything older than the iPhone 11 won't support the update.

Here's the full list of phones that will support iOS 27:

• iPhone 17
• iPhone Air
• iPhone 17 Pro
• iPhone 17 Pro Max
• iPhone 16
• iPhone 16 Plus
• iPhone 16 Pro
• iPhone 16 Pro Max
• iPhone 16e

As with every iOS announcement since Apple Intelligence was introduced in 2024, there is a distinct feature split. Only phones that support AI will get the new Siri AI and other Apple Intelligence features announced today.

Apple iPhones that will support iOS 27 AI include the iPhone 15 Pro models and the iPhone 16 and 17 families. Presumably the iPhone 18 lineup, which is expected to launch in September, will also support all of these features.

Here's the current list:

• iPhone 17
• iPhone Air
• iPhone 17 Pro
• iPhone 17 Pro Max
• iPhone 16
• iPhone 16 Plus
• iPhone 16 Pro
• iPhone 16 Pro Max
• iPhone 16e

• iPhone 15 Pro Max

Beyond the iPhone, these devices will also support the new AI features when it releases later this year:

• iPad models with M1 or later
• Mac with M1 or later
• Apple Vision Pro
• Apple Watch Series 10 or later
• Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later
