It will take some time for iOS 19 to be released. If Apple sticks to its usual schedule, this will be the case in the summer – possibly early June – of 2025, when the company will hold its next (likely again primarily virtual) developer meeting, the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC). . Nevertheless, there is already reliable information about which iPhones will be supported with the new operating system. The good news: Apparently there has been no change in support. This means: all devices that already work with iOS 18 will also receive iOS 19. At least that’s what sources from the French Apple blog iPhoneSoft.fr, who have their own knowledge, claim Supposedly from Apple To pass.

Which models will run iOS 19
Accordingly, iOS 19 support is already starting with the iPhone XR, XS and XS Max, which were released in autumn 2018. All SE models of Generation 2 from 2022 should run with iOS 19. There are the iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and of course the 16, each in standard, mini (12, 13), Pro, Pro Max and Plus (14, 15, 16) versions. This would mean that Apple will once again provide many users of older devices access to the latest operating system. However, as always, it should be expected that not all functions will be available for all devices. This does not apply to Apple Intelligence, which is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.
If Apple sticks to its usual routine, the developer beta of iOS 19 will first appear in June, with the public beta following a few weeks later. The final release is expected in the fall – usually in September. Then the iPhone 17 will probably come to market in four variants, which could be especially interesting this year.
Work reportedly delayed
Not much has been leaked yet about specific innovations in iOS 19. It seems clear that Apple is planning major modifications to the voice assistant Siri, which may no longer be implemented with iOS 18. However, there may be overall delays. In mid-December, well-known Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman claimed that he heard that Apple was going to start development of iOS 19 because of the AI functions in iOS 18. lag behind Happen.
“I keep hearing that some features planned for iOS 19 are being delayed due to the gradual rollout of features from iOS 18 to iOS 18.4.” This will also lead to a slower rollout of functions in the next operating system cycle. “Apple engineers need to work on iOS 18 projects even though they are typically already busy with the next operating system.” So it can be assumed that iOS 19 will receive new features gradually – for example until iOS 19.3 or 19.4.
