The Real Reason Apple Is Dropping Older iPhones in iOS 27

Apple’s iOS 27 is expected to bring a major redesign, stronger AI-powered Siri features, pro-level camera tools, and a new AirPods interface.

The update reflects Apple’s shift toward newer hardware and more modern software, with legacy code being removed.

Older devices, including the iPhone 11 series, are expected to lose support and stop receiving updates.
