It sounds like the iPhone 11 might be next.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not 100 percent confirmed yet, but a leak from tech tipster Instant Digital on Weibo  suggests it might be the case, according to 9to5mac. 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 for their absence:<\/p>\n<p>\n            <span class=\"text-gradient-fuchsia-secondary\">Mashable Light Speed<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"font-bold text-primary-400\">SEE ALSO:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <span class=\"ml-1\">Apple TV to live broadcast MLS match shot entirely on iPhone 17 Pro<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That means if you have any of those iPhones, you might not be able to keep current when iOS 27 launches, presumably alongside the iPhone 18. That doesn&#8217;t mean your iPhone 11 will be totally useless or anything; Apple continues to support older OS revisions with minor security updates and whatnot. But if you want all the newest iOS features, you&#8217;ll probably need a newer iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Apple very recently launched the budget-minded iPhone 17e, which will stay current with software updates for years to come without breaking the bank. If you don&#8217;t feel like upgrading to a flagship phone, that might be the way to go.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/tech\/apple-ios-27-iphone-11-ending-support\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple iOS 27 could leave iPhone 11 users behind https:\/\/mashable.com\/tech\/apple-ios-27-iphone-11-ending-support Publish Date: 2026-05-22 12:54:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":252873,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/articles\/06WzowTiFjY9ydNRDlZTM9Q\/hero-image.fill.size_1200x675.v1779467290.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[69,80,81,57,61],"class_list":["post-252872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-ios","tag-iphone-17","tag-iphone-18","tag-security","tag-security-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252872"}],"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=252872"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":252874,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252872\/revisions\/252874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
