iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 Don't Drop Support for Any iPhones—and Just a Few iPads

On Monday, June 8, 2026, Apple announced iOS 27 at the World Wide Developers Conference in Cupertino, California, featuring a redesigned Siri AI and Apple Intelligence tools alongside Liquid Glass updates.

Advanced features remain limited to newer hardware, as not every compatible model receives every iOS 27 capability; the new Siri AI requires an Apple Intelligence-capable device to function as "an even more capable AI assistant with expanded intelligence.
