Overview
- Reports and leaks say iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 may not support the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the second‑generation iPhone SE, though those model lists remain unconfirmed until Apple’s WWDC announcement.
- Apple has already said macOS 27 will not support Intel‑based Macs, which would end major software updates for remaining Intel models such as the 2019 16‑inch MacBook Pro, 2020 13‑inch MacBook Pro (four Thunderbolt 3 ports), 2020 iMac, and 2019 Mac Pro.
- Early coverage says iPadOS 27 could drop a handful of older iPads, with candidates reported as the iPad (8th generation), iPad Air 3, and iPad mini 5, but those device lists are based on leaks rather than an official Apple statement.
- iOS 27’s feature emphasis is expected to shift toward a major Siri overhaul and broader Apple Intelligence features across system apps, and Apple is likely to seed a developer beta soon after the WWDC keynote with a public beta in July and a full release in September.
- Users of devices left off the iOS 27 list are expected to keep receiving security fixes for their final supported release for a time, but they will miss new AI‑driven features, a change that could prompt some owners to consider upgrading.
