iOS 27 Rumored to Drop Support for These iPhone Models

[bw44]

It would be better if SE 2 and 3 were dropped and 11 would stay up

Isn't the SE 2 being dropped?

SE3 will never be dropped for a long time mate.

SE2 will be the first OS 26 iPhone to be chopped off more than the entire 11 lineup

And although that has the same amount of RAM than the iPad 9 the thing that will make iPad 9 get a year extra support is that the SE3’s battery capacity is so bad on OS 26 but it was bad as well when it was on iOS 13

But also speaking of the iPad Pro, would Apple really cut off the entire A12 era at once?


I don’t think Apple will cut off the 2018 iPad Pro, given that the 2020 iPad Pro uses identical hardware, other than one GPU core.
iOS 8 and 9 had the same support list, as did iOS 11 and 12, 13 through 15 and 17 and 18.
It makes sense to me that 26 and 27 would have the same support list, iPhone 11 and newer, before next year, where absolutely everything, iPhones, iPads and Macs alike, are A14/M1 Firestorm and Icestorm cores and up.

Yes they will cut off support for the A12 iPads which the weakest link is the 8th gen iPad because that is the last iPad/iPhone which runs it with 32GB.

as of your next paragraph the 2018/20 Pros don’t share the same RAM except the 1TB 2018 Pro with 6GB of RAM alongside all the 2020 Pro Models

I believe the A12 iPad lineup will be dropped alongside the SE2. If the A13 SE goes that’s good news because its battery life and capacity is bad

Isn't the SE 2 being

Yes and it’s the weakest link due to what I have said above
