Tim Cook at the iPhone 11 Launch
In a landscape where most Android OEMs pledge support for their devices within specified time frames, Apple remains reticent on this front.
Recently, an intriguing leak emerged, indicating that four iPhone models that are currently receiving updates for iOS 26 will not qualify for the forthcoming iOS 27.
This revelation comes courtesy of leaker Momentary Digital, who shared insights on Weibo, as reported by 9to5Mac.
According to the leak, while a substantial number of devices, notably starting from the iPhone 12 series onward, are expected to receive the iOS 27 update, the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and iPhone SE (2020) will be conspicuously absent from this list.
This information raises questions for users currently operating on iOS 26, who may soon find themselves without access to the latest enhancements.

The company, established by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, endeavored to deploy a satellite for AST SpaceMobile using its New Glenn rocket but failed to reach the desired orbital altitudes.

Amazon’s Shift in Fire TV Strategy
Amazon has officially announced that its future Fire TV Sticks will no longer facilitate app sideloading or operate on Android. Users will be unable to download or install even pre-approved applications.
This dramatic shift marks a transition to a custom Vega OS software for all forthcoming streaming devices, which will restrict user customization options as the new system is primarily cloud-based.
The Vega OS was initially rolled out on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select last year and will also power the all-new Fire TV Stick HD launching in late April.
