iOS 27 to Cease Support for Four iPhone Models, According to Leaker

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.

WebAssembly 3.0 with Andreas Rossberg – Software Engineering Daily

WebAssembly, or WASM, has grown from a low-level compilation target for C and C++ into one of the most influential technologies in modern computing. It now powers browser applications, edge compute platforms, embedded systems, and a growing ecosystem of languages targeting a portable and secure execution model. Andreas Rossberg is a programming languages researcher and

Production-Grade AI Systems Featuring Fred Roma – Software Engineering Daily

Engineering teams around the world are building AI-focused applications or integrating AI features into existing products. The AI development ecosystem is maturing, which is accelerating how quickly these applications can be prototyped. However, taking AI applications to production remains a notoriously complex process. Modern AI stacks demand LLMs, embeddings, vector search, observability, new caching layers,

OpenAI and Codex with Thibault Sottiaux & Ed Bayes – Software Engineering Daily

AI coding agents are rapidly reshaping how software is built, reviewed, and maintained. As large language model capabilities continue to increase, the bottleneck in software development is shifting away from code generation toward planning, review, deployment, and coordination. This shift is driving a new class of agentic systems that operate inside constrained environments, reason over

Airbnb’s Open-Source GraphQL Framework Featuring Adam Miskiewicz – Software Engineering Daily

Engineering teams often build microservices as their systems grow, but over time this can lead to a fragmented ecosystem with scattered data access patterns, duplicated business logic, and an uneven developer experience. A unified data graph with a consistent execution layer helps address these challenges by centralizing schema, simplifying how teams compose functionality, and reducing

Gas Town, Beads, and the Growth of Agentic Development with Steve Yegge – Software Engineering Daily

AI-assisted programming has moved far beyond autocomplete. Large language models are now capable of editing entire codebases, coordinating long-running tasks, and collaborating across multiple systems. As these capabilities mature, the core challenge in software development is shifting away from writing code and toward orchestrating work, managing context, and maintaining shared understanding across fleets of agents.

Optimizing Production Agent Behavior with Gideon Mendels – Software Engineering Daily

LLM -powered systems continue to move steadily into production, but this process is presenting teams with challenges that traditional software practices don’t commonly encounter. Models and agents are non-deterministic systems, which makes it difficult to test changes, reason about failures, and confidently ship updates. This has created the need for new evaluation tooling designed specifically
