Device Support

iOS 16 supports the iPhone 8 and later but has dropped support for the following devices:

  • iPod touch (all models)

  • iPhone SE (1st generation)

  • iPhone 6s/6s Plus

  • iPhone 7/7 Plus

iPadOS 16 supports the iPad Pro models, the third-generation iPad Air and later, the fifth-generation iPad and later, and the fifth-generation iPad mini and later, but dropped support for:

  • iPad mini (4th generation)

  • iPad Air (2nd generation)

However, just because your device supports iOS 16 or iPadOS 16, that doesn’t mean it supports all features. Many iOS 16 features require an A12 Bionic processor or later, which includes:

  • iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, and later

  • iPad Mini (5th generation and later)

  • iPad Air (3rd generation and later)

  • iPad (8th generation and later)

Stage Manager in iPadOS 16 requires one of the following:

  • iPad Pro 12.9 inch (third generation and later)

  • iPad Pro 11 inch (first generation and later)

  • iPad Air (5th generation)
