CTOnews.com, April 24 (Xinhua)-- Apple will launch a new iPadOS 17 system this year, but not all iPad will enjoy this update. According to reliable sources, Apple will give up support for three iPad models in iPadOS 17: the iPad 5 and the iPad Pro 1 9.7in and 12.9in versions. This means that these iPad will not be able to install new systems or use new features.

The news has been confirmed by two different sources. One is an anonymous Twitter account that accurately predicted the compatibility of iOS 13 and iOS 14, and the other is information that iPhoneSoft got from Apple insiders, who correctly predicted that Apple would stop supporting iPhone SE and iPhone 6s in iOS 16 last year, as well as the compatibility of iOS 13 and iOS 14.

If this news is true, then iPadOS 17 will only support iPad released after 2017, including:

IPad Air 3 generation and newer models

IPad 6 generation and newer models

IPad mini 5 generation and newer models

IPad Pro 2017 and newer models

However, even if these iPad can be upgraded to the new system, they may not be able to fully experience all the new features and functions, because the hardware performance of the old equipment may be limited.

At present, there is still controversy about the iOS 17 compatibility of iPhone. There are two different rumors, one saying that the three iPhone models will not be able to upgrade to iOS 17, and the other that all iPhone that can run iOS 16 can be upgraded to iOS 17. We need to wait for more information to confirm.

If you have an iPad that is about to be eliminated, will you consider replacing it with new equipment? Welcome CTOnews.com friends to leave your comments in the comments area!
