iOS 19 dan iPadOS 19 Update Apple Pengembangan Perangkat Lunak

Apple's commitment to software updates continues to be a topic of discussion, particularly concerning the longevity of support for its devices. Recent reports offer insights into which devices will receive the upcoming iOS 19 and iPadOS 19 updates, highlighting both positive and negative aspects of Apple's update strategy.

Unexpected iOS 19 Support for Older iPhones

A surprising development is the confirmation that the iPhone XS and XR, released in 2018, will receive the iOS 19 update. This extends their software support to an impressive seven years, a testament to Apple's ongoing commitment to these devices. This news comes from a report by iPhoneSoft, which suggests that all iPhones currently running iOS 18 will also be updated to iOS 19.

iPadOS 19 Update Limitations

However, the situation is less positive for some iPad users. Reports indicate that several older iPad models will miss out on the iPadOS 19 update. This includes the 7th-generation iPad (2019) with the A10 chip and the 2nd-generation iPad Pro (2017). This is due to Apple raising the minimum processor requirement to the A12 chip for iPadOS 19 compatibility.

iOS 19 Release and Features

Apple is expected to officially announce iOS 19 sometime in mid-2025 at WWDC 2025. While details on new features remain scarce, reports suggest that the development of iOS 18 may have impacted the progress of iOS 19. Based on this, iPhoneSoft, citing Macrumors, predicts that iOS 19 might include only a few substantial new features, as key features promised for iOS 18 are yet to be fully released or are only just appearing in the developer beta.
