Apple unveiled iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 today, and if you are wondering whether your iPhone made the cut, the answer is probably yes. Going into the event, there were strong rumors that the iPhone 11 lineup would be dropped from software support this year. Apple surprised everyone by keeping those models on the list.

The company even called attention to this decision during the keynote, making clear that no additional models were being cut from iOS 26 support. That means a total number of 29 iPhone models will be getting the iOS 27, which is a first.

Which iPhones will support Siri AI and Apple Intelligence?

Getting iOS 27 does not mean you get everything iOS 27 has to offer. According to Apple, older devices will receive the software update but miss out on the AI features, because many Apple Intelligence and Siri AI processes happen on-device and require newer, more powerful chips.

Apple Intelligence features like Clean Up and Live Translation require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Siri AI, Apple’s newly announced AI-powered voice assistant, has an even shorter compatibility list. If you want the full AI experience, you need one of these models:

Note that Siri AI will not be available in the European Union or China at launch, due to ongoing regulatory disagreements. iOS 27 itself is expected to roll out to all compatible models in September 2026.

The dream of uber cheap phones for kids and grandparents is effectively dead, thanks to AI

AI's demand for memory chips has made budget smartphones unprofitable to build.

Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

That $100 phone you were going to grab for your kid's first device, or hand down to grandma, could become a dream in a while. AI's hunger for memory chips just made the entire budget phone category borderline impossible to build.

So how bad are we actually talking?

Apple’s new Upgrade program launches on Tuesday with major changes

Apple's new leasing program might drop AppleCare coverage from the bundle.

iPhone 17 Pro Max

Buying your next Apple device could soon look like leasing a car. Apple is launching its new Apple Upgrade program on Tuesday, July 28, replacing new enrollments in the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program with a lease-based option that covers iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches.

Backed by Klarna, the program is designed to lower the upfront cost of Apple's premium devices, but it is also raising questions about whether you'll actually own what you're paying for.

Setting up your dorm desk? These are the phone stands I’d actually spend my money on

From a $2 folding stand to a three-in-one Apple charging dock, these are the phone stands worth setting up this semester.

Analog Clock, Clock, Electronics

A phone stand is one of the smallest purchases on any back-to-school list, but it's also one of the easiest to get wrong, especially since there are dozens of options available on Amazon. A good phone stand is one that does its job well and, more importantly, doesn't put much of a dent in your budget.

This is one of those product categories where you don’t need to spend big, unless a MagSafe dock or a multi-device charging stand is genuinely useful for your desk or dorm setup. That is why this list begins with the most affordable options and works its way up to the more expensive ones. From a two-pack that costs about as much as a coffee to a three-in-one Apple charging station, I picked eight of Amazon's best-reviewed phone stands worth considering this back-to-school season.
