iOS 19 Expected to Run on These iPhones

iOS 19 will not be available on the iPhone XR, ‌iPhone‌ XS, or the ‌iPhone‌ XS Max, according a private account on social media site X that has accurately provided information on device compatibility in the past.

iOS 19 Mock WWDC25 Feature
The ‌iPhone‌ XR, ‌iPhone‌ XS, and ‌iPhone‌ XS Max all have an A12 Bionic chip, so it looks like iOS 19 will discontinue support for that chip. All other iPhones that run iOS 18 are expected to support iOS 19, with a full compatibility list below.

  • iPhone 16e
  • iPhone 16
  • ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus
  • ‌iPhone 16‌ Pro
  • ‌iPhone 16‌ Pro Max
  • ‌iPhone‌ 15
  • ‌iPhone‌ 15 Plus
  • ‌iPhone‌ 15 Pro
  • ‌iPhone‌ 15 Pro Max
  • ‌iPhone‌ 14
  • ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus
  • ‌iPhone‌ 14 Pro
  • ‌iPhone‌ 14 Pro Max
  • ‌iPhone‌ 13
  • ‌iPhone‌ 13 mini
  • ‌iPhone‌ 13 Pro
  • ‌iPhone‌ 13 Pro Max
  • ‌iPhone‌ 12
  • iPhone 12 mini
  • ‌iPhone‌ 12 Pro
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max
  • ‌iPhone‌ 11
  • ‌iPhone‌ 11 Pro
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max
  • ‌iPhone‌ SE (2nd generation or later)

While these iPhones will support iOS 19, advanced features may be limited to newer iPhones with faster processors. Apple Intelligence in iOS 18, for example, only runs on the ‌iPhone‌ 15 Pro and the ‌iPhone 16‌ models.

As for iPadOS 19, it is expected to drop support for the seventh-generation low-cost iPad with A10 Fusion chip. It sounds like iPads that are equipped with the A12 Bionic such as the iPad mini 5 will be compatible with iPadOS 19.

The source that shared the information also provided details on the devices that would be compatible with iOS 18 ahead of when iOS 18 was unveiled.

Apple is planning to introduce iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 at the Worldwide Developers Conference that is set to begin on Monday, June 9.

Again interesting to see iPad A12/3GB supports iPadOS 19. But A12/4GB on iPhone won't run iOS 19.

I don’t get excited about iOS updates. It always looks the same as the previous version and I don’t use 90% of the features anyway. I only use my iPhone for internet, email and a few apps.

Seems a bit arbitrary to get rid of XR when there are still other 3GB RAM devices to support.

My 13 PM is running so smooth to this day. Will just replace its battery and keep it for another two years or so. It's a great phone and it does everything I need.
