iOS 12, watchOS 5, and tvOS 12 are days away from landing, but will your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple TV be supported, or will the launch mean a trip to the Apple Store?
Good news for anyone who has an older iOS device — there’s a good chance that iOS 12 won’t be sending you to the Apple Store to buy new hardware.
Put simply, if your iPhone or iPad can run iOS 11 then you’re in luck because it will also run the iOS 12 update scheduled to land this coming fall.
Here is a full list of iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch devices that will be supported by iOS 12:
iPhone:
iPad:
iPod touch:
tvOS 12 will run on 4th generation Apple TV devices and later, which currently run tvOS 11.
On the watchOS front, 1st generation Apple Watch are out of luck (given how sluggish these devices are running watchOS 4, I’m not surprised to see them sidelined), but everyone else who has bought an Apple Watch will get watchOS 5.
So if you own one of those solid gold $10K first-generation Apple Watch Edition, well, it was fun while it lasted.
