Were just over two months away from Apple announcing iOS 19 at WWDC25. A new rumor this week says that iOS 19 will drop support for three iPhone models: iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max. All three of those phones were released in September 2018. This rumor comes from a private and anonymous account on X that regularly shares accurate information about Apples software platforms. The account has correctly leaked information about upcoming Apple software updates on countless occasions. If this rumor turns out to be correct, then iOS 19 will be supported on the following iPhones: iPhone 11iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro MaxiPhone 12 and 12 miniiPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro MaxiPhone 13 and 13 miniiPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro MaxiPhone 14 and 14 PlusiPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro MaxiPhone 15 and 15 PlusiPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro MaxiPhone 16eiPhone 16 and 16 PlusiPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro MaxiPhone SE (2nd gen)iPhone SE (3rd gen)As for iPadOS 19, todays rumor says that the update will drop support for the iPad (7th generation), which was released in September 2019 and is powered by the A10 Fusion chip. However, todays leak differs from an iPhoneSoft leak in December that said all iPhone models that can run iOS 18 will also be able to run iOS 19. Both sources have a strong track record and have accurately reported details of iOS device compatibility in prior years. iPhoneSoft, however, falsely reported that iOS 13 would end support for the original iPhone SE in 2019. Even if the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR dont support iOS 19, they will continue to receive software updates from Apple. For example, just today Apple released iOS 16.7.11 with security fixes for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
