Apple is expected to unveil their new iOS 14 software at this month’s Worldwide Developer Conference, and now it looks like we may have some details on what devices the software will be available.
With a major new release of iOS, there are always some older devices that are not supported with the release, but it looks like this year’s release will support all devices that can currently run iOS 13.
Supported Devices for iOS 14
According to details shared by The Verifier, iOS 14 will support a wide range of devices, ensuring that even some of the older models will still be able to enjoy the latest features and improvements. The supported devices include:
– iPhone SE (2016)
– iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
– iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
– iPhone X
– iPhone XR
– iPhone XS and XS Max
– iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max
– iPhone SE (2020)
– 7th generation iPod Touch
This extensive list means that users of older devices like the iPhone SE (2016) and iPhone 7 will not be left behind, which is great news for those who have not yet upgraded to the latest models. This move by Apple demonstrates their commitment to providing ongoing support and updates to a broad range of their devices, ensuring a more inclusive user experience.
What About iPadOS 14?
As yet, we do not have any details on which iPads iPadOS 14 will support. However, it is expected that Apple will follow a similar approach to iOS 14, aiming to support as many devices as possible. Historically, Apple has been known to extend support to older devices, and it is likely that iPadOS 14 will be available on a wide range of iPads, including some of the older models.
We should have full information on what devices these new versions of iOS and iPadOS will be available on at WWDC 2020 later this month. The Worldwide Developer Conference is a key event for Apple, where they typically unveil their latest software updates and provide developers with the tools and information they need to create new apps and services.
