Ready for Apple's iOS 26? Here are all the compatible iPhones that can run the beta today
Here is a 165-word summary of the news article: Apple is set to release iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 this fall, bringing a visual update called "Liquid Glass" and several new features. While last year's update supported all iPhones from the iPhone 8 onwards, this year's iOS 26 will not be compatible with the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max models from 2018. All iPhones from the iPhone 11 series and later will be able to run the new OS. As for iPads, the update will support iPad Pro (3rd gen and later), iPad Air (3rd gen and later), iPad (8th gen and later), and iPad mini (5th gen and later). Some of the key iOS 26 features include a redesigned Phone app, real-time language translation, and a new polls feature in the Messages app. Users with older, incompatible iPhones will miss out on the latest security updates and features, though they can continue using their devices. iOS 26 is expected to release in mid-September, alongside the new iPhone 17 series.
