Earlier today Apple released iOS 12.4, which brings some devices closer to their eminent end of lifecycle. Regardless whether you subscribe, or do not you subscribe to a believe that Apple deliberately builds “planned obsolescence” into their devices, here is a list of iPhone and iPads that will likely not get another update. “Likely” because we’ve occasionally seen security patches that Apple released unnoticed to make sure that even users of old devices are safe online. While most Apple iPhones and iPad that are online will be supported in iOS 13, this time – there are six devices that will be left behind, unsupported.
To honor these devices properly, we feature these soon-to-be outdated iPhones and iPads in images below. Alongside, you’ll able to see their respective release date.
