Another WWDC has concluded, and the iPhone 11 continues to receive a software update. While this may be the final major iOS version for iPhone 11 users, it doesn’t imply they will receive all the new features included in Apple’s iOS 26 update.
iPhone 11 users will benefit from the new Liquid Glass design, although it won’t appear the same as it does on more recent iPhones. Below is a compilation of features that the iPhone 11 will not be receiving in iOS 26. Details on which iPhone models will support each feature are also included.
Enhanced Visual Intelligence: This is exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro or newer, allowing users to search, inquire, and take action based on the content displayed on the screen.
Live Translation: Available on iPhone 15 Pro or newer, this functionality showcases live translated captions in FaceTime and offers translated text or spoken translations during voice calls.
AI Shortcuts: Also constrained to iPhone 15 Pro or newer, this Apple Intelligence feature enables users to create shortcuts powered by AI.
Genmoji advancements: The iPhone 11 will not receive the improved Genmoji features in iOS 26. Newer devices can combine Genmoji with emojis and descriptions to create distinct images.
Image Playground with ChatGPT: Apple is upgrading Image Playground by allowing ChatGPT to provide new styles for image creation.
Enhanced Messages app features: The iPhone 11 will have polls and background options, but only the iPhone 15 Pro or newer will have poll suggestions based on conversations and background generation via Image Playground.
