This isn’t 100 percent confirmed yet, but according to 9to5mac, a leak from tech tipster Instant Digital on Weibo suggests it could be the case. Instant Digital published a list of every iPhone model that will support iOS 27 when it launches later this year, and four models stood out by their absence:
mashable light speed
Apple TV will stream live MLS matches exclusively on iPhone 17 Pro
This means that if you have any of these iPhones, you won’t be able to keep up with iOS 27, possibly with the iPhone 18, when it launches. This doesn’t mean that your iPhone 11 will become completely useless or anything; Apple continues to support older OS revisions with minor security updates and other things. But if you want all the latest iOS features, you’ll probably need a new iPhone.
The good news is that Apple recently launched the budget-minded iPhone 17e, which will keep you current with software updates for years to come without breaking the bank. If you don’t feel like upgrading to a flagship phone, this might be the way to go.
