Apart from this, the Cupertino-based tech giant may also roll out the realityOS software for the headset along with the next-gen iPhone software version. Apple will roll out iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 for its iPhone and iPad models.
Previous rumours shared by an anonymous Twitter account predicted the iPhone models that are expected to lose support with iOS 17. Now, a new report has shared the list of the models that will be supported by the upcoming software update. According to a report by iPhoneSoft, three iPad models may lose support with iPadOS 17. The latest report corroborates with the previous rumour and has outlined the models that will no longer support iPadOS 17.
The report claims that users need to keep in mind that iPad models which were launched after 2017 are expected to be compatible with iPadOS 17. However, older models usually don’t support the latest features and capabilities that are likely to arrive with the upcoming software.
