Apple has officially announced the supported devices for its latest software updates: iOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27, revealed during WWDC 2026. The company has also released the first developer betas of the new software, with stable versions expected to launch later this year.

It will also support the iPad (9th generation and later), iPad with A16 chip, iPad Air (4th generation and later), and iPad Air models powered by the M2 chip and newer. Additionally, the update will be compatible with the 13-inch iPad Air. On the Pro side, iPadOS 27 will work with the 11-inch iPad Pro (2nd generation and later), the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (4th generation and later), and iPad Pro models equipped with M4 or newer chips.
