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.

The $1,500 flagship might be closer than you think
Flip phones already broke the $1,500 mark this year, and slab flagships aren't far behind.
iPhone 17 Pro and Google Pixel 10 Pro.

In July, a Google executive broke the silence on the ongoing memory crisis, highlighting a more than fourfold increase in RAM prices between 2025 and 2026, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The prices have gone up from $2.80 in 2025 to roughly $12 in 2026, as mentioned in the same report. Run the math for a 16GB memory package, and the cost to the company has apparently gone up from $45 to $192.

That's not a rounding error; it's the floor moving under the entire industry's feet. Google is not alone in speaking about the ongoing memory crisis. We've also seen Nothing's CEO speak about it, and other brands like Motorola, OnePlus, and Xiaomi make price adjustments across their lineup.

I’ve used the Pixel 10 Pro a year. I hope Google fixes these nagging issues on the Pixel 11 Pro
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

I’ve been using the Google Pixel 10 Pro for almost a year now, which means I’ve had plenty of time to figure out what I love about it and, more importantly, what still gets on my nerves. And with the Pixel 11 Pro launching on August 12, just three days from now, my wishlist for Google has gotten pretty long. There’s a lot the Pixel already gets right. The software is still one of my favorite Android experiences, performance is generally solid, and Google’s Gemini features have become genuinely useful in ways I didn’t expect. Those are all big reasons I’ve stuck with Pixel phones for as long as I have.

But spend enough time with any phone and the little annoyances stop feeling so little. Over the past year, I’ve run into a handful of recurring Pixel problems that I really don’t want to carry over to another generation. Some have frustrated me for months, while others have made me question whether I can completely rely on my Pixel when I need it most. So, with the Pixel 11 Pro almost here, I have a few things I desperately want Google to get right this time.

Apple is testing Chinese DRAM even after CXMT refused to cut prices
Apple may be testing CXMT memory for iPhones and MacBooks
iPhone 17 Pro Max

Apple’s search for more memory supply has taken another step forward. The company is now testing DRAM from Chinese manufacturer CXMT across several products, including iPhones and MacBooks, according to The Wall Street Journal. Apple has also held early talks with CXMT about supplying memory for some devices sold in China and is seeking support from the US government before moving ahead.

The timing is particularly interesting. Just recently, we learned that a shortage of DRAM could already be holding up production of the A20 Pro chip expected inside the iPhone 18 Pro. TSMC is said to have around $1 billion worth of finished chips waiting for memory before packaging can continue.
