Apple fans are paying attention! The official version of iOS 26 is about to hit., is your iPhone ready?

After several rounds of developer and public beta versions, the official version of iOS 26 will be officially pushed to users on September 16.

The biggest highlight of this update is the introduction of a new "liquid glass" visual effect, which will bring an important visual innovation to the iPhone.

Apple announced the new system for the first time at the WWDC 2025 conference in June.

What iPhones can try out iOS26?

The good news is thatiOS 26 will support iPhone 11 and subsequent models.

This means that from iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro/Max, iPhone SE (second and third generations), to the latest iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air, you will be able to upgrade to this new system.

Congratulations to the users of these devices!

Some functions are exclusive, performance is the key!

However, not all new features are open to all compatible devices.

For example, advanced features such as Advanced features such as Apple Intelligence are extremely demanding on hardware.

They require a more powerful processor and larger running memory, soOnly iPhone 15 Pro with A17 chip or later versions can experience these exclusive features.

What devices will not be able to iOS26?

Sadly, some older models will not be able to upgrade to iOS 26.

iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR will stay on iOS 18.

Earlier devices, including iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone SE (first generation), iPhone 6s/6s Plus, iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPhone 5s and all earlier models, will not be allowed to update.

But don't worry, even if these old models don't get the latest features, Apple will usually continue to provide security support for a period of time to ensure that your device is still safe to use to some extent, with few new tricks.

Is your iPhone on the upgrade list? Which new feature do you most look forward to in iOS 26?
