Which iPhones are ready for iOS 27? Here is the full list of compatible models
Apple unveiled iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 today, and if you are wondering whether your iPhone made the cut, the answer is probably yes. Going into the event, there were strong rumors that the iPhone 11 lineup would be dropped from software support this year. Apple surprised everyone by keeping those models on the list.
The company even called attention to this decision during the keynote, making clear that no additional models were being cut from iOS 26 support. That means a total number of 29 iPhone models will be getting the iOS 27, which is a first.

Which iPhones will support Siri AI and Apple Intelligence?
Apple
Getting iOS 27 does not mean you get everything iOS 27 has to offer. According to Apple, older devices will receive the software update but miss out on the AI features, because many Apple Intelligence and Siri AI processes happen on-device and require newer, more powerful chips.
Apple Intelligence features like Clean Up and Live Translation require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Siri AI, Apple’s newly announced AI-powered voice assistant, has an even shorter compatibility list. If you want the full AI experience, you need one of these models:
iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro Max
iPhone 16e
iPhone 16
iPhone 16 Pro
iPhone 16 Pro Max
iPhone 17e

Note that Siri AI will not be available in the European Union or China at launch, due to ongoing regulatory disagreements. iOS 27 itself is expected to roll out to all compatible models in September 2026.
