Apple iOS 26: Is your iPhone compatible? Here's a list which devices can download it today

Here is a 177-word summary of the news article: Apple's upcoming iOS 26 update will bring significant visual changes, including a new "Liquid Glass" design. However, the update will not be compatible with several older iPhone models. The iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max from 2018 will not be able to download iOS 26 when it releases in the fall. On the other hand, iPhones from 2019 and later, including the iPhone SE (2nd gen), iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12 series, iPhone 13 series, and newer iPhone 14 and 15 models, will be compatible with the new operating system. Users of incompatible devices will miss out on security updates and may face app compatibility issues, though they can continue using their older iPhones. iOS 26 is expected to launch in mid-September, alongside the new iPhone 17 lineup. Key new features include the Liquid Glass design, a revamped Phone app, real-time translation, and a polls function in the Messages app.
