iOS 19 Rumor: Three Older iPhone Models to Lose Support

A new rumor suggests that Apple's upcoming iOS 19, set to be announced at WWDC25 in June 2025, will drop support for three iPhone models: the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max. These devices were all released in September 2018. The information comes from a private and anonymous account on X (Twitter) known for accurate leaks about Apple’s software updates. If true, iOS 19 would be compatible with newer iPhone models starting from the iPhone 11 series to the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max. Additionally, iPadOS 19 is rumored to drop support for the iPad (7th generation), released in September 2019. This rumor conflicts with a previous leak from December that suggested all devices running iOS 18 would also be compatible with iOS 19.
