Apple is rumored to exclude three of its 2018 iPhone models - iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max - from receiving the highly anticipated iOS 19 update. These models, equipped with the A12 Bionic chipset, will likely miss out on the major software upgrade.

iOS 18 supported by a more advanced chip, will be eligible for the iOS 19 update. This means that iPhone models from 11 and onwards will receive the update.
iOS 19 is speculated to be a significant software overhaul, promising the most significant design changes since iOS 7 in 2013. The update aims to streamline interfaces across iOS, macOS, and iPadOS, with redesigned icons, system buttons, controls, and app interface elements. The navigation and control functions are also expected to be simplified for a more user-friendly experience.
