appleThe WWDC 2025 Key note is already in the Reario Mirror, and, as usual, the program dominated the changes in the iPhone operating system later this year. The changes in the number scheme were correct – the iOS18 is going to iOS 26 – but here there was a laundry list of changes in the actual use shown, as well as a new liquid glass design, which seems to be Apple’s largest visual update over the years. But the biggest question we are all thinking about: Will my iPhone be able to run iOS 26?
Last year, Apple did not add to any of its eligibility list, but not for 2025 – this time some models are decreasing. All the iPhone 8 models and the iPhone X were the last to get the boot in 2023, and the 2018 models are behind this year. If you have a disqualified device, you will not be able to download iOS 26 when you are available this fall.
We will come down in which iPhones will support iOS 26 this year. To see what is coming with the latest OS and more, everything has been announced here today in Apple’s WWDC event.

What if I don’t want to buy a new iPhone?
If you want to continue using your old iPhone that is not supported by iOS 26, that’s fine. However, you will lose security works that can potentially risk malware and other risks to your phone. In addition, some apps may stop working if they need iOS or a particular version later. And of course, you won’t be able to access the latest features offered by iOS 26.
iOS 26 When will be available?
Apple usually rolls its latest iOS in mid -September, just a few days before the new iPhone collided with the store. Last year, he released on Monday, September 16, on IOS 18. Expect the release date in this iPhone 17 event expected in early September.
iOS 26 features about whom we are passionate about
The design of the liquid glass: Your home screen is getting better with new app icons, including Dark Mode and all clean options. You will also see a new floating design button. The liquid glass was designed to make all Apple’s OSS more compatible.
Re -design to the phone app: You will eventually scroll to a screen through contacts, recent calls and voicemail messages. It also features a new feature called Hold Assist that will inform you when you come on the phone so you can avoid lift music.
Directly translated: The iOS 26 is bringing the ability to communicate with someone else through a phone call or text message. Direct translation will translate your conversation in real time.
Polls feature: Chat members will be able to produce the pool in the messages app on group messages. When it comes to deciding which restaurants you are meeting this weekend can help prevent unwanted 30+ messages.
