Key Points:
- Apple is set to unveil iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 at WWDC next week, but several older iPhone, iPad, and Mac models are expected to lose support for these new operating systems.
- iPhone models likely to be dropped from iOS 27 support include the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, and iPhone SE (2nd generation), according to a Weibo leaker.
- iPad models expected to be unsupported by iPadOS 27 include the iPad (8th generation), iPad Air 3, and iPad mini 5, based on compatibility patterns linked to the rumored iPhone exclusions.
- Apple has confirmed that macOS 27 will not support Intel-based Macs, specifically dropping support for the MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020 with four Thunderbolt 3 ports), iMac (2020), and Mac Pro (2019).
- This marks a continued shift by Apple toward newer hardware requirements, potentially prompting users of these older devices to consider upgrading to maintain access to the latest software features.
