Apple Discontinues Support for Multiple iPads and Apple Watches in Latest OS Updates

8 Haziran 2026The Verge

Apple has announced that its latest software updates, watchOS 27 and iPadOS 27, will not be compatible with a significant number of older devices. This decision affects four generations of Apple Watches and iPads, marking a notable increase in the number of devices dropped from support compared to previous years.
Users with older models will need to upgrade their hardware to access the latest features and security updates.
Apple has a history of phasing out support for older devices with each new software iteration, but the scale of this year's cuts is unprecedented. As technology evolves rapidly, manufacturers often face the challenge of balancing innovation with user accessibility.
This move by Apple reflects a broader trend in the tech industry where companies prioritize software performance and security over backward compatibility. While it encourages consumers to invest in newer devices, it also raises concerns about electronic waste and the sustainability of such practices.
