Every year, Apple users anxiously await the WWDC keynote to see if their devices will continue receiving software updates.

Apple’s support for iPhones typically lasts between six to seven years, though there are no strict guarantees.

However, new information indicates otherwise.

According to a reliable source on X (formerly Twitter), three iPhone models from 2018 will no longer receive iOS 19 updates:

-iPhone XR -iPhone XS -iPhone XS Max.
