Methodology

How these verdicts are calculated

No insider information — just Apple's own, verifiable track record.

Apple has supported iPhones with major iOS updates for roughly six to seven years after launch, trimming the oldest models from the list in most cycles. Applying that window to a September 2027 release puts the cut-off around the iPhone 12 and 13 generations — which is exactly where our uncertain verdicts land.

One detail carries extra weight: the A15 Bionic. It powers the iPhone 13 lineup, the iPhone SE (3rd generation), and the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. Dropping that chip would cut five popular models at once, and Apple tends to avoid cliffs that steep — which is why A15 devices get a "likely" rather than a coin flip.

Apple Intelligence follows a separate, stricter line drawn by memory and Neural Engine performance: iPhone 15 Pro and newer. That's why a device can be fully supported by iOS 28 and still miss its headline AI features. The full reasoning, with Apple's historical cut-off table, lives on our supported devices page.

Every verdict here is a projection and is labeled as such. Apple confirms the real list at the WWDC 2027 keynote — projected for June 7, 2027 — and this tool is updated the same day.

FAQ

Common questions

What if my iPhone doesn't get iOS 28?

Nothing breaks. Your phone keeps running its current version, Apple keeps shipping security patches for older releases for years, and apps stay compatible for a long time. Being dropped from a major update is not a deadline to replace your phone.

Why is the iPhone 12 "uncertain" but the 13 "likely"?

Age and silicon. The iPhone 12 turns seven in 2027, the outer edge of Apple's window, and its A14 chip would be the oldest left in the lineup. The iPhone 13's A15 is shared with four other still-current models, which protects it. Full analysis: iPhone 12 · iPhone 13.

My iPhone runs iOS 28 but not Apple Intelligence — why?

They're two different support lists. Running the operating system needs far less hardware than running AI models on the device, so Apple gates those features to iPhone 15 Pro and newer. Here's the breakdown.

When will this be confirmed?

At the WWDC 2027 keynote, which we project for June 7, 2027. The supported-device list usually appears on Apple's site within minutes of the iOS segment ending — and you can get a notification when it does.
