Now that WWDC23 is already looming on the horizon, it’s normal that rumors regarding the next versions of Apple’s operating systems start to become something more and more common. This time, the most recent rumor concerns the compatibility of the iOS 17 It’s from iPadOS 17which might leave out some very popular models of iPhones and iPads.
According to MacRumorso iPhone X and the iPhones 8 e 8 Pluslaunched at the end of 2017, will not receive the next version of iOS. This information was disclosed by an anonymous Twitter user (with a good record of hits) and corroborates another post published on the Chinese social network Weibo, last week.
– iPhone 8
– iPhone 8 Plus
– iPhone X
Rumor has it that iPadOS 17 will drop support for:
– 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st generation)
– 9.7-inch iPad Pro (1st generation)
– iPad (5th generation)
Among the tablets, the devices quoted to lose support with the arrival of iPadOS 17 are the first generation iPad Pro (both the 9.7″ and the 12.9″) and the Fifth generation “standard” iPad. Interestingly, the models equipped with the A10 Fusion chip and its most powerful variation, the A10X Fusion — that is, the sixth and seventh generation iPads and the second generation iPad Pro (both the 10.5″ and the 12, 9″) — do not appear in the list.
This list, despite having some very popular devices, is still smaller compared to that of iOS/iPadOS 16. In the past, it failed to include models that are still very common, such as the iPhone 6s/6s Plus and the first-class iPhone SE generation, as well as most devices equipped with the A10 Fusion chip, such as the iPhones 7 and 7 Plus and the latest iPod touch. The second-generation iPad Air and fourth-generation iPad mini also joined the ranks.
Still according to MacRumorsit is possible that Apple chose to leave the devices pushed by the A11 Bionic out this year due to an “incorrectable” vulnerability discovered in 2019. This loophole exploits a flaw in the devices boot ROM and has existed since the A5 chip, from 2011.
