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?

I don't know why people say you can't get ios 26 on older model as of iphone 8. My friend has the iphone 8 and got ios 18 and now ios26. I hate when I look up things like" does iphone 8 support ios 26," and it says "NO." it apparently does work though because it is available on my friends phone , and he doesn't have the beta he has the official ios26. So, iphone 8 as of what I know from any other phone runs ios 26 officially!
Nope. iOS 26 does not support iPhone 8.
That’s an iPhone SE 2nd or 3rd.
Physically very similar to an iPhone 8, but with different internals, and supported with iOS 26.
Or that is an unsupported jailbreak.
I don’t know how to install iOS 26 in iPhone 8

False. It is not possible to install iOS 26 on an iPhone 8.

either your friend is lying or they don't have an iPhone 8. They have an iPhone SE. The SE is virtually indistinguishable from the iPhone 8 in appearance.

why my iphone 8 cant update to ios 26
Fundamentally, because Apple does not support iPhone 8 past iOS 16.
The A11 Bionic processor has known hardware security issues.
iOS 18 and later support only Apple silicon processors without those particular issues, too.
How to update iPhone 8 to iOS 26?
