Device Reference

Complete specification table for all iPhone, iPad, and iPod models with release dates, max iOS versions, screen sizes, and support status.

Retirement dates are estimates based on historical Apple hardware cycles (typically 5–7 years of iOS updates). Actual support may vary by region or cease earlier due to hardware issues. Current support status reflects iOS 26 (July 2026).

About This Reference

This table includes all iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models ever released, along with their technical specifications and support status.

Support Status Definitions:
Currently Supported — Device runs iOS 26 or can receive iOS 27+ updates.
Limited Support — Device maxes out at iOS 24–25; likely 1–2 more major updates possible historically.
Legacy — Device maxes out at iOS 23 or earlier; no new OS updates expected.

Retirement Estimates are based on when devices will reach 3+ major iOS versions behind current. They assume Apple's typical 1-year major release cycle. Devices marked as "Legacy" are estimated to have already exceeded that threshold and should be considered end-of-life.

Screen sizes are diagonal measurements in inches. iPad and iPhone size categories have remained relatively consistent over generations.
