These iPhones Will Support iOS 26 – Check the Full List

Apple is gearing up to introduce the iPhone 17 lineup along with iOS 26, a major system update that brings a redesigned user interface and several functional changes. The rollout is expected in just over a month, and the company has now disclosed the list of iPhones eligible for the update.

iOS 26 will introduce a visual overhaul centered on a new interface design Apple calls Liquid Glass. The updated layout adds a semi-transparent effect that adjusts based on what’s displayed on the screen, affecting various parts of the system including app icons, widgets, and navigation elements.

Among the interface changes, a new floating tab bar will appear in built-in apps like Music, News, and Podcasts. This redesigned bar hovers over content and adjusts automatically depending on user interactions such as scrolling or browsing.

Apple has yet to release the full changelog for iOS 26, but further announcements are anticipated at the iPhone 17 event in September.
