Apple has confirmed that iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS 26, and visionOS 26 will roll out on September 15, 2025. Apple has also aligned version numbers with release years, which explains the jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26. The iPhone 17 series will ship with iOS 26, but the update will also be available on iPhone 11 and later models, including the 2nd generation and newer iPhone SE. For watchOS 26, support starts with the Apple Watch Series 6, Apple Watch SE (2nd-gen), and all Apple Watch Ultra models. macOS 26, also known as macOS Tahoe, will be available for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with Apple silicon starting 2020, the MacBook Pro 16-inch (2019), MacBook Pro 13-inch (2020, with four Thunderbolt 3 ports), iMac models from 2020 and later, Mac mini with Apple silicon, Mac Studio (2022 and later), and the Mac Pro (2019 and later). Apple has not announced a release date for tvOS 26. It is still listed as coming this fall, with reports suggesting it could launch alongside an updated Apple TV 4K.
