Apple Is Cutting Off 16 Devices With Its Next Big Update: Is Yours On The List?

Summary

Apple is dropping support for 16 devices across four product categories with its next big update, including five Apple Watch models, five iPad models, four Mac models, and two Apple TV models. The affected devices will not receive the latest operating system updates, such as watchOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 Golden Gate, and tvOS 27, due to hardware requirements. These updates are expected to be publicly available later this year, with Apple typically continuing security updates and bug fixes for older OS versions for at least a year after a new version is released.
