But eventually, there comes a time when major new OS versions require more powerful hardware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, we\u2019re expecting several iPhone, iPad, and Mac models to be dropped from iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what we\u2019re currently expecting:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>iPhones that might not support iOS 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>iPhone\u00a011\u00a0Pro\u00a0Max<\/li>\n<li>iPhone\u00a011\u00a0Pro<\/li>\n<li>iPhone\u00a011<\/li>\n<li>iPhone\u00a0SE (2nd generation)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>iPads that might not support iPadOS 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>iPad (8th generation)<\/li>\n<li>iPad Air 3<\/li>\n<li>iPad mini 5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Macs that will not support macOS 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>MacBook\u00a0Pro (16\u2011inch, 2019)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook\u00a0Pro (13\u2011inch, 2020, Four Thunderbolt\u00a03\u00a0ports)<\/li>\n<li>iMac (2020)<\/li>\n<li>Mac\u00a0Pro (2019)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four non-supported iPhones are based on Weibo leaker Instant Digital, who posted a full list of iOS 27-compatible iPhone models earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There aren\u2019t yet rumors about iPad compatibility, but the list above reflects what we\u2019re expecting based on the rumored iPhone models. If Apple does indeed drop another generation of iPhone models this year, then the iPad models above likely won\u2019t make the cut for iPadOS 27.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non-supported Macs have actually been confirmed by Apple, they\u2019re not just a rumor. That\u2019s because last year, Apple announced that macOS 27 will not support Intel Macs. And the four Macs listed above are the last Intel-based models that can run macOS 26.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you still using any of the hardware above, and will Apple\u2019s new software motivate an upgrade?
