The compatibility of Apple’s forthcoming operating system iteration with older iPhone models is a frequent point of user interest. Specifically, the question of whether the iPhone XR will support the new system software is of concern to many owners of that device.
Historically, Apple has provided several years of software support for its iPhone models. This support ensures users receive the latest features, security updates, and bug fixes. However, at some point, older devices lack the hardware capabilities necessary to efficiently run newer operating systems, leading to discontinuation of support.
