Summary
iOS 27 will run on iPhone 11-series devices and later, plus the second-generation iPhone SE and newer, giving the update a wider compatibility range than some users expected.
Only 3 current phones — iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air — will support all of iOS 27’s new Siri AI features because Apple says they have enough memory.
Apple is set to launch the new iPhone features in September at its annual event, with the iPhone 18 also expected to support the full AI feature set when it arrives.
For older devices, Apple may keep issuing iOS 26 security fixes for about a year, reflecting longer support as spyware and other security threats continue to target aging phones.
