The new version of the operating system moved by Apple is just around the corner, Apple will present it at the WWDC 2020 that takes place on June 22 and after it, the first betas of iOS 14 and the rest of the systems will be released. Of course, we hope that iOS 14 comes with many new features, including a new home screen, but Apple will also reveal something very important: devices that are compatible and can update to the new version.
This new leak comes from The Verifier, although it is something that had been rumored previously. This medium has successes and failures in its history, but being just a few weeks from launch it is likely that the information is legit. Also, last year you previously reported that the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 could not be upgraded to iOS 13 .
iOS 14 will be compatible with all iPhone with iOS 13
Apparently, iOS 14 compatibility will be complete. This means that all the iPhones that can be updated to iOS 13 will also be able to update to iOS 14, incredible news that will please many users who could continue to squeeze their old devices. However, The Verifier also reports that iOS 14 will be the latest update to be enjoyed by both the iPhone 6s and the original iPhone SE, which use the same A9 processor.
If these rumors are true, the list of iPhone compatible with iOS 14 would be the following:
- iPhone SE 2020
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 7
- iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone SE original
- iPhone 6s
- iPhone 6s Plus
- 7th generation iPod touch
Despite having reported the compatibility of iOS 14, this medium has not said anything about iPadOS 14, although it would be strange if it did not follow the same steps. The oldest device that is compatible with iPadOS 14 is the iPad Air 2 that has the A8X processor, although the iPad mini 4 has an older processor, the A8. These would be the main candidates to not update to iPadOS 14 in case of not updating to the entire range, they are devices from 2014 and 2015 respectively.
It would not be strange if these two iPad models were left out of the list of chosen for iPadOS 14, it should be noted that iPadOS 14 is expected to include important innovations that these devices probably cannot use correctly, so Despite the fact that iOS 14 can be compatible with the same iPhones that have iOS 13, it is likely that not all iPads with iPadOS 13 can update to the fourteenth version of the Apple operating system.
Still, this is just leaks and mere speculation, and we will have to wait until June 22 and see the Apple keynote, wait for us at the end, and check the list of compatible devices. However, in case any are left out, they would have been updated for 5 years.
