**Significant Updates Ahead for Apple’s Complete Software Range**
In a matter of days, Apple is set to reveal its major new software launches across its entire product range. A source has disclosed what to anticipate regarding device compatibility for watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and HomePod 26.
This year, Apple is likely to deliver substantial UI overhauls throughout its complete array of new software. The updated appearances will also introduce a new branding approach based on the year. A unified fresh design, along with numerous new features, is expected across different platforms.
These upgrades could coincide with the launch of homeOS 26. The HomePod 26 software is also on the way, but due to the lack of a screen, a new UI isn’t necessary. Recent information has suggested that several models of iPhone, iPad, and Mac may not be able to support Apple’s newest software updates, thus remaining on last year’s version. Nevertheless, there’s positive news for owners of Apple Watch, Apple TV, and HomePod.
**Device Compatibility for watchOS 26, tvOS 26, HomePod**
As per sources, all hardware that was compatible with last year’s software updates will also be compatible with this year’s new editions. Here’s the complete list of supported devices:
**Apple Watch**: compatibility with watchOS 26
– Apple Watch Series 10, 9, 8, 7, 6
– Apple Watch Ultra 1 & 2
– Apple Watch SE 2
**Apple TV**: compatibility with tvOS 26
– Apple TV 4K (all models)
– Apple TV HD
**HomePod**: compatibility with HomePod 26
– HomePod (all models)
– HomePod mini
If these claims are accurate, it’s comforting to know that users won’t have to upgrade their hardware to access the latest software. However, it is probable that Apple will make certain features available only to newer devices, which has become a standard approach with its software updates. At the very least, the new UI design should be accessible to all users capable of running Apple’s current OS versions.
