Which iPhones & iPads will be able to run iOS 12?
Our prediction is that the iPad Air 2 and later, the iPad mini 3 and later, the iPhone 6 and later and the sixth-gen iPod touch will certified as compatible to install and run iOS 12.
Here is a list of every Apple device that supported iOS 11:
- iPad Air 1, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro (12.9in, 2015), iPad Pro (9.7in, 2016), iPad (9.7in, 2017), iPad Pro (10.5in), iPad Pro (12.9in, 2017)
- iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4
- iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X
- iPod touch (sixth generation)
We think Apple will remove the bottom rung of each list, with the Air 1, mini 2 and iPhone 5s missing out. (Apple currently sells only one model of iPod touch, so we don’t expect that to lose compatibility, but its days may be numbered.)
