Apple devices supported on iOS 14, iPadOS 14, macOS Big Sur, and watchOS 7

List of Apple devices that can run iOS and iPadOS 14, macOS Big Sur, and watchOS 7.

Apple announced at WWDC its latest software for all its devices: iOS 14, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, and macOS Big Sur. But that new software won’t be coming to all of Apple’s currently supported hardware.

One feature with the new operating systme that people already like is that Apple has now incorporated calls no longer taking over the whole screen. Calls and FaceTime calls appear in a banner at the top of the screen, acting like just another notification.

From this banner, you can choose to accept the call and hang up. To dismiss a call, you just swipe it up out of the way.

Here’s what will — and won’t — be getting software updates this year.

iOS and iPadOS are the easiest: if your tech device currently runs iOS and iPadOS 13, it’ll run iOS and iPadOS 14, too, with no new devices set to lose support this year.
