In a move that challenges the perception of planned obsolescence, Apple has announced that iOS 27 will be compatible with iPhone 11 and newer models. This means millions of users with devices several years old will continue to receive significant software updates. While the new 'Apple Intelligence' and advanced AI features for Siri are exclusive to the latest hardware, the core operating system is packed with practical features for everyone.
This strategy highlights Apple's focus on device longevity and user retention, ensuring that the iPhone experience remains fast and fluid even on older hardware.
