- iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later)
- iPad Air (M2)
- iPad Air (3rd generation and later)

Of course, some iPadOS 19 features will be unavailable on older iPad models.
The first iPadOS 19 beta should be released during WWDC 2025 next June, and the update is likely to be released in September. Not many iPadOS 19 features have been rumored yet, but Siri is expected to become more conversational like ChatGPT in a later iPadOS 19.4 update, which is likely to be released around March 2026.
As for iOS 19, the report said that update will not drop support for any iPhones.
