Apple is gearing up to announce iOS 19 at WWDC 2025, but not all iPhones may get the update. A new rumor suggests that Apple could be dropping support for three models from 2018 \u2014 the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.<\/p>\n

According to a report from 9to5Mac, the information comes from an anonymous source on X, known for accurately predicting Apple\u2019s software updates<\/a> in the past. If these three iPhones are dropped, it would follow Apple\u2019s usual pattern of providing around six years of major software updates before ending full support. The iPhone X, for example, missed out on iOS 18 last year, while the iPhone 8 series lost support after iOS 16.<\/p>\n
