Apple devices are renowned for their durability and extensive software compatibility, but with the arrival of iOS 18, some devices will lose software support. MacRumors has hinted at the upcoming iOS 18 update, revealing that certain iPad and iPhone models will not receive it, marking the end of their software compatibility.
Despite Apple’s pledge for long-term support, the exclusion of these devices from the update is disappointing news. Notably, the iPhone XR, released in 2018, stands out as the oldest iPhone model set to receive iOS 18, showcasing Apple’s commitment to providing up to six years of software support for smartphones.
