Leaked information reveals which models of Apple Watch will be compatible with the upcoming watchOS 26 software update.
watchOS 26 will be Compatible with All Apple Watch Models that Can Run watchOS 11
Whenever Apple releases a new operating system version, a device or two usually gets left behind in terms of compatibility. With watchOS 26 set to be announced on Monday, we will also find out on the day which models will be officially supported.
However, according to information leaked online by an anonymous account on X, we might not have to wait until Monday at all.
According to the information, these are the Apple Watch models that will be compatible with watchOS 26:
- Apple Watch Series 6
- Apple Watch Series 7
- Apple Watch Series 8
- Apple Watch Series 9
- Apple Watch Series 10
- Apple Watch Ultra
- Apple Watch Ultra 2
- Apple Watch SE 2
In case you’re wondering, the above list is actually great news. Because, if you compare this with devices that are compatible with watchOS 11, nothing gets left behind this year.
Every single device that supports watchOS 11 will be able to run watchOS 26.
However, do keep in mind that this is leaked information, and we don’t know for sure if this is exactly how things are going to pan out. There is a chance Apple might drop support for Apple Watch Series 6, and the only way to find out is to wait until Monday.
At the same time, the leaker has a very good track record when it comes to such things.
There are a bunch of things expected from watchOS 26 on Monday, including the ability to add third-party toggles in Control Center.
