The next major iOS software will be available on devices as old as the iPhone 11, and it will likely land on your device this fall.

Apple announced iOS 27 on Monday at the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. The tech giant said the upcoming iPhone software will include more ways to refine Liquid Glass on your device and iPhones dating back to the iPhone 11 lineup will be able to run the upcoming software.

Apple's WWDC announcement didn't cover when it would release iOS 27 to the general public. Historically, Apple has released upcoming major iOS updates shortly after company's September hardware event, so the company will likely release the software around then.
