Here is every iOS 26 compatible iPhone in a handy compatibility list to help you determine if your device will actually be capable of installing and running the next big software update to come out of Apple Park.
iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air are of course also added after Apple recently announced them at their annual Fall event.

The iOS 26 software is here, replacing the expected iOS 19. The software is now available for download to everyone, and we expect it to be loved by everyone given it has all new Liquid Glass design. But will your iPhone or iPad support it?
The list below is confirmed to include every device that the iOS 26 software supports. Future devices will also support the software, but if your existing device isn’t listed, you’re out of luck.
