This means several popular models could miss out on the upgrade entirely.<\/p>\n<p>If accurate, that would mark the end of the road for the\u00a0iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the second-generation iPhone SE. These devices would remain on iOS 26. However, they\u2019re still expected to receive\u00a0security updates for the next few years, which should soften the blow for users not ready to upgrade just yet.<\/p>\n<p>The information comes from \u201cInstant Digital,\u201d a leaker on Weibo with a mixed but sometimes reliable track record. As always with early Apple rumours, it\u2019s worth taking this with a pinch of salt. However, the cutoff does line up with Apple\u2019s typical support window.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, iOS 27 is tipped to work across a wide range of newer devices. This includes the iPhone 12 lineup through to the latest iPhone 16 models. It will also support upcoming devices like the iPhone 17 series. That\u2019s a fairly standard spread, but there\u2019s a catch:\u00a0some of the headline features may be limited to newer hardware. In particular, any updates tied to Apple Intelligence are expected to require at least an iPhone 15 Pro or newer.<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>As for what\u2019s actually new, iOS 27 is reportedly shaping up to be more of a refinement release than a major overhaul. Think\u00a0bug fixes, stability improvements, and smaller tweaks rather than sweeping changes. Early rumours point to a standalone Siri app, improved autocorrect, and even a system-wide control for adjusting the opacity of Apple\u2019s Liquid Glass interface.<\/p>\n<p>Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 at\u00a0WWDC on June 8, 2026, with a developer beta likely landing the same day. A public beta should follow in July, ahead of a full rollout in September.<\/p>\n<p>If the leak holds up, it might be time for&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/news\/ios-27-compatibility-phones\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iOS 27 could drop support for these iPhone models https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/news\/ios-27-compatibility-phones Publish Date: 2026-04-21 05:17:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":233791,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/11\/iphone11-1-5-1024x682-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[69,77,74,124,80,57,61],"class_list":["post-233790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-ios","tag-ios-26","tag-iphone-15","tag-iphone-16","tag-iphone-17","tag-security","tag-security-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233790"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":233792,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233790\/revisions\/233792"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
