Overview

  • A new rumor indicates that iOS 19 will not support the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max, all powered by the A12 Bionic chip introduced in 2018.
  • The seventh-generation iPad, which features the A10 Fusion chip, is also expected to lose compatibility with iPadOS 19.
  • These reports come from a reliable private account on X, which has a history of accurately leaking Apple software details, though they conflict with earlier claims from iPhoneSoft.
  • Devices losing iOS 19 compatibility will continue to receive security updates, as Apple has historically provided for older, unsupported models.
  • Apple is expected to officially announce iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9, 2025.
