This means that even the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR released in 2018 will have the new operating system next year.
Some iOS 19 features may not be available on older devices, and this is to be expected. But in the smartphone world, it is rare for such models to be supported six years after their launch.
By comparison, owners of the 7th generation iPad released in 2019 will not be able to upgrade to iPadOS 19.
The first developer version of iOS 19 is expected to be introduced at WWDC 2025 in June, followed by the stable version in September. However, rumors suggest that apart from improvements in Apple Intelligence, iOS 19 may offer fewer new features than iOS 18.
