Will this be the year Apple aggressively eliminates the most iPhone models since iOS 18, forcing millions of users to upgrade their devices if they want to continue receiving new AI features?
The latest information from leaked sources in the Apple community shows that the list of devices compatible with iOS 27 is gradually appearing. Although Apple has not officially announced it, the initial data has caused a stir in the global iFan community.
If this list is accurate, iOS 27 will continue to focus on Apple Intelligence and next-generation AI features, while accelerating the phase-out of iPhone lines that use older hardware.
List of iPhones expected to support iOS 27

iPhone XR
iPhone XS
iPhone XS Max
These three devices all use the A12 Bionic chip launched in 2018.
Device age if removed from iOS 27
Model Year of launch Age
iPhone XR 2018 9 years
iPhone XS 2018 9 years
iPhone XS Max 2018 9 years
Looking at the table above, we can see that Apple has supported the A12 Bionic models much longer than the Android smartphone industry.
Why does Apple have to remove old models?
The biggest reason comes from the AI race.Apple Intelligence requires:
✅ Larger RAM memory
✅ Neural Engine is more powerful
✅ Higher AI processing performance
✅ Faster memory bandwidth
Meanwhile, the A12 Bionic chip has begun to show its limits when processing local AI models.

Neural Engine chip
A12 Bionic 5 TOPS
A17 Pro 35 TOPS
A18 Pro Over 38 TOPS
Apple Silicon M4 Over 38 TOPS
The AI performance gap between A12 and new generations has now reached many times.
The value of older iPhone models may be affected

If Apple officially stops support, the value of old devices on the market may continue to decrease as users switch to newer models.
⚔️ The AI war is changing the smartphone industry
Not only Apple, companies such as Samsung, Google and HONOR are also requiring increasingly powerful hardware to operate new generation AI models.
This makes the future software support lifecycle likely to depend more on AI processing capabilities than just CPU or GPU power.
The most notable thing is that the iPhone 11 launched in 2019 is still expected to continue to be on the iOS 27 support list. If this becomes true, this will be one of the iPhone lines with the longest software support period in Apple history.
