Should I Update to iOS 26.1?


iOS 26 is supported on iPhone 11 or later, iPhone SE (2nd generation) or later, and iPhone Air (A19 Pro). It’s important to stay up-to-date for your device’s security.

Here’s what I recommend for iOS 26.1 (specific notes only for A13/A14-powered devices):

From iOS Version (or device)Answer
iOS 18.7.2 or earlier (general)Update to 26.1
iOS 26.0.1 or 26.0 (general)Wait for 26.2
iPhone 11, iPhone SE (2nd generation) or iPhone SE (3rd generation) on iOS 18.7.2 or earlier OR iOS 26.0.1/26.0Wait for 26.2
iPhone 12/mini, 12 Pro/Pro Max on iOS 18.7.2 or earlierWait for 26.2
