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 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.

While reports of Samsung exploring a horizontal camera bar design for the Galaxy S27 Ultra have surfaced before, a new claim from tipster yeux1122 suggests the redesign could have a more significant benefit. According to a post on Naver, the layout change may finally allow Samsung to add proper Qi2 MagSafe-style magnetic charging to its next Ultra flagship, something Galaxy users have been waiting for since the company adopted Qi2 support.

Samsung has used this design before. The 2019 Galaxy S10 series featured a horizontal camera strip across the back, giving the phones a memorable look, while reducing wobble when placed on a flat surface.

Everything new coming to Apple Wallet in iOS 27
Your Wallet app is about to do a lot more than hold your cards.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Apple has spent the last few years expanding what Wallet can hold, from driver’s licenses now live in as many as 14 states in the US to transit cards for cities like Atlanta, reducing the need to carry physical cards and documents. 

The steady expansion has turned Wallet from a simple payment app into a broader digital hub. While Siri AI and Apple Intelligence stole much of the spotlight at WWDC 2026, Apple Wallet quietly received its most substantial upgrade yet with iOS 27.
