Apple revealed a variety of new capabilities at WWDC 2025 for iOS 26, encompassing the Liquid Glass design, real-time translations, and enhancements to CarPlay and Messages. The newest iOS will be accessible to the majority of iPhone users, yet those possessing the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or iPhone XS Max will be unable to download it. iPhones from 2019 onwards can obtain the latest iOS, although not all functionalities will be available. As reported by 9to5mac, an iPhone 12 or subsequent model is necessary for the new Lockscreen 3D effect, while functions such as visual intelligence with screenshots, live translation in Messages, FaceTime, and Phone, along with AI-driven shortcuts, and others require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Apple Intelligence features necessitate compatible devices, including all iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad mini (A17 Pro), and iPad and Mac models with M1 processors or later, with language configurations in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese (simplified). Additional languages are set to be incorporated by the year’s end. It is essential to keep iPhones updated to the most recent iOS for security enhancements.
