Apple wrapped up its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026 earlier this month, unveiling the next generation of software updates across its ecosystem.
From the revamped Siri experience and expanded Apple Intelligence features to enhancements for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, the updates represent another major step forward for Apple’s software platforms.
As with every major release, not all existing devices will make the cut. Apple has raised the hardware requirements for several platforms this year, particularly as more AI-powered features and advanced capabilities demand greater processing power and memory.
If you’re wondering whether your Apple device will support the latest software, we’ve compiled the full compatibility lists below.
