Will your iPhone be compatible with iOS 14?
Celso Bulgatti / CNET
Apple announced a lot of new features for iOS 14 this fall in his World developer conference Monday. The latest updates show a New app organizer and home screen widgets for the first time on iPhone ($ 699 at Apple)as well as one more compact Siri interface. The new update of iOS 14 will also allow you play a video thumbnail (Picture in Picture) while doing other things and add face covers to your Memoji.
As with any new iOS update, you may be wondering if you will still be able to use your old iPhone or if it is time to update to a newer version. When Apple revealed iOS 13 last year, announced that the update would work with iPhone 6S, iPhone SE (2016) and newer models. This year is the same: Apple does not exclude the iPhone 6S or its earlier version of the iPhone SE.
While the new iPhone update won’t be available until this fall, developers can still Download and install the iOS public developer beta – Everyone else can try the public beta version in July. However, we recommend that you only try this if you have an older iPhone that you don’t use as your primary phone.
Here is the official list of devices that will work with iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. If you are buying a new phone in the fall, it will come with the new iOS installed.
