New Delhi, December 23: Apple will reportedly offer support for its upcoming iOS 19 to a wide range of iPhone models. The update will likely include every iPhone that currently runs iOS 18 OS. The development can be crucial for users who rely on older iPhone models and prefer to upgrade their devices for the latest software updates.
As per reports, Apple’s iOS 19 will continue to support every iPhone model running iOS 18. iPhone users with slightly older models might not need to worry about their devices becoming obsolete with the new update. Apple supports older devices with its iOS updates, but the final list of compatible devices will only be confirmed closer to the iOS 19 official release. iPhone 17 Air Price Leaks Ahead of Launch in 2025; Check Expected Specifications, Features and Other Details.
