| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 9 to 5 Mac Daily for Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026. I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:10.0 | We are supported this week by Card Pointers. Leading off today, iOS 27 is set to be unveiled on June 8th at WWDC, |
| 0:18.7 | and a new leak indicates the software update could drop support for four |
| 0:22.6 | iPhone models. According to the rumor, iOS 27 will not support the iPhone 11 series, so that's |
| 0:30.0 | the iPhone 11, the iPhone 11 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. It will also reportedly drop support for the second generation iPhone |
| 0:39.4 | SE. The iPhone 11 was officially released in September of 2019, so it's had going on |
| 0:47.3 | seven years of consistent software updates. The iPhone SE2, meanwhile, was released in April of |
| 0:53.9 | 2020. |
| 0:55.6 | And even if iOS 27 drops support for these devices, they will continue to receive important security fixes for years to come. |
| 1:03.8 | For example, Apple still releases security updates for iPhones released over a decade ago, rather than leaving those users out to dry altogether. |
| 1:12.9 | Notably, this will mark the second year in a row that Apple has dropped several iPhone |
| 1:16.9 | models from its major iOS update. iOS 26 dropped the iPhone 10S generation. |
| 1:24.2 | Many of iOS 27's tint pull features are expected to involve Apple intelligence, |
| 1:29.4 | and those features will require the iPhone 15 Pro or later. |
| 1:33.8 | So as usual, even if your iPhone can still run iOS 27, |
| 1:37.9 | it may or may not support all of the best features. |
| 1:41.3 | In addition to those AI updates, iOS 27 is expected to be a mostly stability |
| 1:46.6 | and bug fix update as Apple looks to clean up the code and improve the overall experience for |
| 1:52.6 | iPhone users. We're sponsored this week by Card Pointers, the best way to earn more from your |
