Not Supported:

Apple Intelligence:
While all the above models can install iOS 26, Apple Intelligence features like Genmoji and Visual Intelligence search require even more powerful hardware. These features are only available on:
- iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 16 models
- iPhone 17 models
So, if you're on an older iPhone, you'll still get the design changes and everyday updates, but Apple Intelligence features will be off-limits.
Check Your Model:
To confirm your iPhone model, go to Settings > General > About and look for the Model Name. If your phone isn't on the compatibility list, it will continue to receive iOS 18 security patches, but you won't see any of iOS 26's new features.
