Which iPhone do you have? That will determine how far you can update.

  • An iPhone 5s, 6 or 6 Plus cannot update past iOS 12.
  • An iPhone 7, 7 Plus, or SE (1st generation) cannot update past iOS 15.
  • An iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X cannot update past iOS 16.
  • An iPhone XS, XS Max, or XR cannot update past iOS 18.
  • If you have an iPhone 11-17 series phone, an iPhone SE (2nd or 3rd generation), or an iPhone Air, it can run the current version of iOS – iOS 26.


If your phone is too old to update to the version of iOS that you want or need, it may be time to purchase a new or newer iPhone.
