New Delhi: During the WWDC 2025, Apple announced a ton of fantastic features for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, and watchOS 26, but not all Apple devices are coming along for the ride. While the company has a great track record for supporting devices for years, some devices won’t be getting any of these updates. Here’s a quick list for users to check if their devices will continue to receive updates beyond this fail.
There are three iPhones that didn’t make the iOS 26 cut off the users using the iPhone XS Max earlier this year because it’s one of the following three iPhones which do not support iOS 26.
- iPhone XR
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
There is one iPad that won’t get the iPadOS 26 update, that iPad 7the Generation. This tablet won’t be getting the iPadOS 26, but all other devices running iPadOS 18 will receive the OS upgrade this fall.
Almost all the Intel Macs are being left behind, and the gradual cull of the Intel Macs continues. Apple is dropping many of them for macOS Tahoe, including:
- MacBook Air 2020, Intel
- MacBook Pro 2018, all models
- MacBook Pro 2019, 13-inch and 15-inch models
- MacBook Pro 2020, Intel, 2 Thunderbolt ports
- Mac mini 2018
- iMac 2019
- iMac Pro 2017
Curiously, macOS Tahoe does support the 2020 MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt ports, which is sad news for the owners who are using this device still in 2025. Apple doesn’t explain why it’s only continuing to support the four ports models. Fortunately, it looks like all Apple Watch models compatible with watchOS 11 are getting upgraded to watchOS 16. While the devices mentioned above won’t get upgraded to the newest software versions, Apple may issue security updates or minor software updates from time to time.
