Apple devices supporting iOS, iPadOS, Big Sur and watchOS updates
Apple announced during its annual conference for developers (WWDC 2020) the latest operating systems for all its devices: (iOS 14) and (iPadOS 14) and (watchOS 7) and (macOS Big Sur), but these new operating systems will not reach all devices Apple is currently supported.
As is the case every year, there are a number of older devices that will not get the latest version of the operating system, and here is a list of devices that will get updates this year.
iOS and iPadOS:
If your device is currently running (13 iOS) and (iPadOS 13), it will get (iOS 14) and (iPadOS 14) as well, with no new devices set to lose support this year.
For iOS 14, it accesses the following devices:
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 7

- iPod touch (7th generation)
While (iPadOS 14) accesses all these tablets:
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation)
- iPad Pro 11 inch (2nd generation)

watchOS 7:
The biggest problem comes from the (Apple Watch) group, as the watchOS 7 operating system will only reach (Watch Series 3), (Watch Series 4) and (Watch Series 5), with the loss of (Watch Series 1) and (Watch Series) 2) For support.
In addition, Apple warns that not all features are available on all devices, which means that even if (Apple Watch) gets the new update, you may not get all the new features depending on their age.
macOS Big Sur:
The (macOS Big Sur) update should arrive at the following Mac computers:
- MacBook 2015 and later
- MacBook Air – 2013 and newer versions
- MacBook Pro – Late 2013 and later versions
- Mac mini – 2014 and newer versions
- iMac – 2014 and newer versions
- iMac Pro – 2017 release and newer versions
- Mac Pro – 2013 and newer versions
This means that MacBook Air released in 2012, MacBook Pro released in mid-2012 and early 2013, Mac mini released in 2012 and 2013, and iMac devices released in 2012 and 2013 will not get macOS Big Sur).
