iOS 27 supported iPhones: official compatibility list

How to read this list

This is model-level compatibility, not a promise that every feature works on every phone, in every language or region. New iPhone entries are not upgrades for previously sold models.

“Official” identifies the source, not universal availability. A beta, a scheduled window, software installed at the factory and a manufacturer-reported regional rollout are different states. We have not inspected your phone or verified its installed build.

Check iPhone release history. Match the exact model, network variant and region before checking for an update. Unmatched catalog entries retain an official source link and are not counted as linked device records.

Model-by-model evidence

What changed from iOS 26?

The compared Apple tables retain all 31 iOS 26 models, including the iPhone 11 family and iPhone SE (2nd generation). iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are the two new entries. There is no dropped-model row in this comparison.

Compare Apple’s iOS 26 guide. Apple records iOS 27’s release on September 14, 2026 and iOS 27.0.1 on September 28. Its release history also records iOS 18.7.10 for iPhone XS, XS Max and XR on August 17, 2026. A past patch is not a promise of future patches or a final support date. Apple release history

Method and source limits

We use manufacturer compatibility guides, announcements, product policies and regional support pages. We do not promote community guesses, a security-end date, or version-number arithmetic into a confirmed OS release. Policy expectations show their reasoning in the row. Absence from a selected list means unverified coverage, not automatically ineligible.

The check date reports when this evidence was reviewed. Older manufacturer publication dates and historical windows remain visible. Catalog matching may improve when a verified model record is added; it does not change the manufacturer’s eligibility claim.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the update missing from my device?

Check your exact model, region, carrier and installed build. Rollouts can be staged, and a beta schedule does not establish stable availability. Consult the linked manufacturer source before assuming an update is late.

Does missing an OS upgrade mean security updates have ended?

No. Major-version eligibility, security patches, minimum commitments and a final manufacturer-stated end are separate facts. Use the device evidence and support calendar to examine the security-support claim.

Should I install a beta to get the update sooner?

This list records beta eligibility; it is not a recommendation to install pre-release software. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, back up important data and check rollback warnings. Some preview installation or rollback paths erase data.
