Hardware Sunset: Apple Cuts Software Support for Recent Apple Watch and iPad Models

A new era of software updates begins as Apple leaves several popular devices behind, including recent hardware from just two years ago.
By Blip Tech 1 min read

Apple is significantly narrowing the compatibility range for its upcoming software ecosystem, resulting in several older iPad and Apple Watch models losing official support. The latest wearable software update will notably exclude the Apple Watch Series 6, Series 7, and Series 8, along with the second-generation Apple Watch SE. This decision is particularly striking for Series 8 users, given the device's relatively recent 2022 launch. Parallel to these changes, several iPad models are also being retired from the update cycle, emphasizing a shift toward hardware capable of handling more demanding modern features.
