Hello, I have an iPhone 8 and apparently there is a new iOS 26 update that everyone in my contacts has been getting and I was wondering how to get it on my iPhone 8?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Original Title: New IOS 26 update
was discontinued from the latest iOS updates a few years ago. As a matter of fact it didn't receive iOS 17 or 18, so as a result it won't receive iOS 26.

iPhone 8 is far too old. iPhone models newer than iPhone 8 are themselves also no longer receiving newer iOS versions.
Re: “why my iphone 8 cant update to ios 26”
The iPhone 8 has only 2 GB of RAM. Only one of the iPhones that can run iOS 26 has as little as 3 GB of RAM, and it is the straggler. All of the others have from 4 to 8 GB of RAM. So lack of RAM would likely be one reason.
Then there is the Neural Engine. All iPhones that can run iOS 26 have at least 8 Neural Engine cores. The iPhone 8 has a rudimentary Neural Engine with only 2 cores.
To run iOS 26, your iPhone must appear in the list of compatible devices below:
As you can see......the iPhone 8 is not on the list.
Re: “Yes like it becuase really when i use ios26”
Not on an iPhone 8. iOS 26 is never coming to the iPhone 8.
You don't. You need at least an iPhone 11 to run iOS 26. The 8 does not have the hardware to run it.
Time for a new phone if you want iOS 26.
You can't. There are 7+ answers in this thread that say the same thing. Did you read any of them?

You may want iOS 26 on your iPhone 8, but you can't have it. The iPhone 8, which ran iOS 11 when Apple came out with the first variants in September 2017 (more than eight years ago), cannot update past iOS 16. It did not receive iOS 17 or 18, which should have told you that it is not eligible for iOS 26.
If you want iOS 26, you will need to purchase a new iPhone that is compatible with it.
iPhone models compatible with iOS 26 - Apple Support
I would suggest one of the newer models on the list, as some older phones (like the 11-series ones) have received so many major iOS updates that it seems unlikely that they will receive iOS 27. (Also, older models would only be available used, and there can be risks to buying a used iPhone such as getting one that is Activation Locked, that is carrier-locked, or that will soon need a new battery.)
If you want Apple Intelligence, that has higher requirements. Many older phones that are compatible with iOS 26 do not have the required 8+ GB of RAM to run Apple Intelligence. For more detailed requirements, see
