With the announcement of the latest versions of Apple’s mobile software: iOS 13 for the iPhone, and the newly renamed iPadOS for its iPad tablets some devices will not be able to get the new OS. Unlike last year’s iOS 12, which ran on every device that ran iOS 11, not all iOS 12 devices will be getting the update to iOS 13 and iPadOS.
It should be noted that this year the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and the recently replaced iPod Touch (sixth generation), have been dropped from the list. This means they will stop on the iOS 12 update and won’t be getting the new software going forward.
iOS 13 is coming to the following devices:
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 7
- iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone 6S
- iPhone 6S Plus
- iPhone SE
- iPod Touch (seventh generation)

As for the newly renamed iPadOS, it’ll be coming to the following iPad devices:
- iPad Pro (12.9-inch)
- iPad Pro (11-inch)
- iPad Pro (10.5-inch)
- iPad Pro (9.7-inch)
- iPad (sixth generation)

Lastly, watchOS 6 will continue to run on the Apple Watch Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, and Series 4 models, although the company warns that not all features will be available on all devices.
