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:

  • iPhone 15 Pro
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max
  • iPhone 16e
  • iPhone 16
  • iPhone 16 Pro
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max
  • iPhone 17e
  • iPhone 17
  • iPhone 17 Pro
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max
  • iPhone Air

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.

Latest Pixel 11 series leak offers the clearest look yet at Google’s next flagship
Google's next Pixel has leaked again, but this time almost nothing is left to imagine
Pixel 11

Google's Pixel launches have become increasingly difficult to keep under wraps, and the Pixel 11 series appears to be no exception. Weeks before Google's scheduled August 12 launch event, a fresh leak has revealed what is claimed to be the complete set of official press renders for the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, showcasing every colour option across the lineup.

The renders, published by MyMobiles in collaboration with tipster OnLeaks, offer what is arguably the most comprehensive look yet at Google's next flagship family. If authentic, they not only confirm earlier design leaks but also reveal Google's colour strategy for 2026, including a vibrant Fuchsia finish for the standard model and a new copper-inspired "Dune" variant for the Pro series.

Galaxy Z Flip 8 vs. Motorola Razr Ultra (2026): Samsung’s flip phone is cheaper, but is it better?
One flip phone wins on value. The other wins on hardware.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Flip phones have quietly become one of the most competitive corners of the smartphone market. It provides buyers with a satisfying folding snap, reducing the footprint to half the original size, and that’s the entire point. Motorola never really left the format after reviving the Razr name, while Samsung has spent generations treating the Flip line as its scrappy, budget-friendlier sibling to the Fold. 

This year, though, the gap between the two camps has narrowed to the point where picking a winner requires genuinely reading the spec sheet and learning about the phones before putting your money into one. One phone leans hard into raw display firepower, while the other leans into a deeper software ecosystem and a friendlier price tag.
