Leaker Says iOS 27 Won't Be Compatible With These iPhones

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 at WWDC 2026 on June 8, introducing a revamped Siri app while limiting advanced Apple Intelligence features to iPhone 15 Pro models.

Key Points

  • iOS 27 will support the iPhone 12 series and newer, effectively dropping support for the iPhone 11 lineup and the second-generation iPhone SE.
  • The update focuses on system stability and bug fixes, drawing comparisons to the Mac OS X Snow Leopard release.
  • A new dedicated Siri app featuring ChatGPT-like functionality will be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro and newer devices.
  • Apple plans to release the first developer beta on June 8, followed by a public beta in July and a full launch in September.

Why it Matters

This update highlights Apple's ongoing strategy of gating advanced artificial intelligence features behind newer hardware to incentivize device upgrades. By prioritizing system stability, the company aims to address long-standing performance concerns while maintaining a clear distinction between legacy and modern hardware capabilities.
