Time for an iPhone upgrade? iOS 27 will reportedly drop support for four iPhone models

• iOS 27 will reportedly drop support for four iPhone models
• These include the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and iPhone SE (2020)
• iOS 27 will probably be announced on June 8, so we might find out for sure then

While most Android manufacturers now commit to supporting their phones for a certain amount of time, Apple doesn’t, so we never know exactly when a specific model will stop getting updated. But a new leak suggests that four iPhones that received iOS 26 won’t be eligible for iOS 27.

This comes from leaker Momentary Digital, posting on Weibo (via 9to5Mac), who shared a full list of the phones that they expect to get iOS 27. And it’s a long list, with everything from the iPhone 12 series onwards supposedly in line for the update — but notably, that means the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and iPhone SE (2020) are excluded, despite them all running iOS 26.

If this information is correct, then it’s not terribly surprising, as these are all old phones — the iPhone 11 series will be seven years old when the iPhone 18 line launches in September, and the iPhone SE (2020) is only around seven months newer.
