The compatibility of Apple’s upcoming operating system with existing hardware is a key concern for many users. A specific question often arises about whether a particular iPhone model will receive the latest software update. This concern reflects the finite lifespan of devices in terms of software support.
Software updates provide access to new features, security enhancements, and performance improvements. Continued support extends the usability and value of a device. Historically, Apple has provided updates for several years after a device’s initial release, but eventually, older hardware becomes incompatible due to performance limitations and evolving software demands.
