A recent report suggests that Apple’s next iOS update will not abandon any existing iPhone models, which is a notable shift from previous trends. Here's a deeper dive into what we can expect from iOS 19.

When Will iOS 19 Be Released?

Reliable sources suggest that iOS 19 will likely be announced during Apple's WWDC 2025. Apple typically announces new system updates during this event, with the official public release slated for the fall. Expect the iOS 19 beta to be available around June 2025, with the final release hitting devices in September 2025.

Rumored iOS 19 Features: What’s New?

While specific details about iOS 19’s features are still sparse, the tech community has already started speculating about potential updates.

Apple Intelligence：As part of the iOS 19 upgrade, Apple’s "Apple Intelligence" feature is expected to see significant improvements. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the upgrade will bring new AI capabilities, although exact details remain under wraps.
Siri's Major Upgrade：Siri is expected to receive a major overhaul in iOS 19, with more advanced capabilities powered by large language models (LLMs). This upgrade will enable users to have longer, more natural conversations with their virtual assistant. Not only will this improve Siri’s intelligence, but it will also make it more responsive and tailored to individual user needs. This means more accurate, context-aware responses that align with what users want.

In addition to Siri, performance improvements are expected, making the system run faster and more smoothly while enhancing overall stability.

iOS 19 Supported Devices

With every new iOS release, older devices often see reduced support. For example, iOS 17 dropped support for the iPhone 8 and iPhone X series, which sparked controversy. However, iOS 19 is set to reverse this trend. Reliable reports suggest that iOS 19 will support a wide range of older devices, including the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, all released in September 2018.

Interestingly, all iPhone models that currently support iOS 18 will also be compatible with iOS 19. This means that even older iPhones will likely continue to receive software updates, ensuring that users with older devices are not left behind.

What’s New on iPadOS 19?

While iPadOS 19 is expected to bring exciting new features, it's possible that not all iPad models will be able to upgrade to the latest version. According to some reports, iPadOS 19 may require at least an A12 chip to run. If this is the case, iPads with the A10 chip, such as the iPad 7 and 2017 iPad Pro models, might not be eligible for the update. It’s believed that newer models like the iPad mini (5th generation)，iPad (8th generation)， iPad Air (3rd generation)，and 2018 iPad Pro (and later) will be able to install iPadOS 19.

Conclusion

With iOS 19, Apple seems to be taking a more inclusive approach by supporting older devices and enhancing the capabilities of its virtual assistant, Siri. While we still don’t have all the details, it’s clear that iOS 19 will bring substantial improvements in both performance and functionality. We’ll continue to monitor any new leaks or announcements as we approach its official release. Stay tuned for more updates on what’s to come in 2025!
