All these iPhones can get the update, and it will already be on the new iPhone 17 series. However, to use the newest Apple AI features, you'll need an iPhone 15 Pro or a more recent model. As mentioned before, the new iOS 26 update has an improved Liquid Glass design compared to previous beta versions. The new interface offers smooth, glass-like swiping and scrolling in apps and tabs. The apps also have a glass-like appearance, making the text clearer. This battery tool uses smart technology to learn how you use your device. Apps will now open more quickly, and the camera has been improved with new adjustments.
