iOS 27 is set to be revealed on June 8 during WWDC, and a fresh leak suggests that the software update might discontinue support for four iPhone models. Here are the specifics.
### iOS 27 may exclude iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and others
We’re approaching Apple’s much-anticipated iOS 27 reveal at WWDC. The most recent speculations from this weekend highlighted a revamped Siri design and a possible new Home Screen feature.
Additional notable rumored features of iOS 27 include a substantial Siri redesign, enhancements to Liquid Glass design, and more.
But will your iPhone be compatible with the new update?
Some years Apple withdraws compatibility for older iPhone models, while other years they don’t. However, a recent leak suggests there will be a shift with iOS 27.
Yesterday, Weibo leaker Instant Digital shared a comprehensive list of what is purported to be all iPhone models that will support iOS 27.
Four models capable of running iOS 26 are absent from the list:
– iPhone 11 Pro Max
– iPhone 11 Pro
– iPhone 11
– iPhone SE (2nd generation)
According to the leaker’s information, iOS 27 will necessitate an iPhone 12 or newer. While iOS 26 supported the second-gen iPhone SE, the new update will only function on iPhone SE 3 or newer.
If this is accurate, it will mark two consecutive years that Apple has excluded several iPhone models from its major iOS update. Last year, the iPhone XS generation was left out.
Many of iOS 27’s key features are anticipated to involve Apple Intelligence. Furthermore, those features will demand an iPhone 15 Pro or later. Thus, even if your iPhone can still operate iOS 27, it may not support all the upcoming features.
Would you be astonished if Apple removed the iPhone 11 series from iOS 27 support? Share your thoughts in the comments.
