Apple’s biggest software event of the year, WWDC 2026, is coming soon. In this event to be held on June 8, the company is going to present iOS 27, in which many new AI features and better Siri experience can be seen. However, there may be disappointing news for some iPhone users; A new leak suggests that some older iPhone models will not get the iOS 27 update. Therefore, it is important to know whether your phone is in that list or not.
These iPhone models will not get iOS 27: Leak
According to leaked reports, Apple may limit support for iOS 27 only to the iPhone 12 series and newer models. If this information proves to be true, then users of iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max and the second generation iPhone SE will not get the new operating system.

Apple Intelligence can also be extended to apps like Photos, Camera, Wallet and Shortcuts. It is rumored that users will be able to edit photos using text commands and create new shortcuts by giving instructions in simple language. After many years, big changes can also be seen in the Camera app. As a result, iOS 27 could prove to be one of Apple’s most significant AI-focused updates to date.
