With the launch of the new iPhone and Apple Watch early this morning, the latest operating system will also be offered. For owners of existing devices, the good news for you is that the latest version of Apple's operating system 26 will arrive on September 15, four days earlier than all the new products this morning go on sale.
The iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, watchOS 26 and tvOS 26 updates will all arrive next week. As I wrote in the article 26 Most Interesting Features Apple Announced At WWDC a few months ago, this year's update standardizes all versions of the operating system using the number 26. All of them also use the new Liquid Glass design that looks like transparent glass.
Here is a list of iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch models that will receive Apple's latest operating system update 26.
