iPadOS 19 will drop support for the iPad 7 from 2019, according to French website iPhoneSoft.fr. The report cites a source within Apple.
Fortunately, the report said all other iPad models that can run iPadOS 18 will be compatible with iPadOS 19 next year.
iPadOS 19 compatibility would be as follows:
- iPad Pro (M4)
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later)
- iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later)
- iPad Air (M2)
- iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
- iPad mini (A17 Pro)
- iPad mini (5th generation and later)
Of course, some iPadOS 19 features will be unavailable on older iPad models.
The first iPadOS 19 beta should be released during WWDC 2025 next June, and the update is likely to be released in September. Not many iPadOS 19 features have been rumored yet, but Siri is expected to become more conversational like ChatGPT in a later iPadOS 19.4 update, which is likely to be released around March 2026.
As for iOS 19, the report said that update will not drop support for any iPhones.
