Answer Which iPhones get iOS 27?
11 of the 14 iPhones in the catalogue list iOS 27 among their supported versions, back to the iPhone 12 (released 2020); 3 list no versions on file. None of the 17 retired iPhones in Apple’s history gets it: their last major versions run from iOS 9 to iOS 18. The history file’s own line: “iOS 27, released 14 September 2026, runs on iPhone 11 and later.” When each current iPhone’s updates stop is not published; the years Apple’s past behaviour points to are given as an inference, not a date.

iPhones that list iOS 2711
The versions each iPhone’s spec record lists, newest first. The last column is Apple’s pattern applied to the release year: across 11 retired iPhones released since 2015, the last new iOS arrived 5 to 6 years after release. That is an inference from history, never a commitment.

Is the iPhone 11 still supported?
The iPhone 11 is not in the catalogue, so it has no row of its own; the history file answers it in one line, quoted here. It is not among the 17 retired models above.

How we know
The versions each catalogue iPhone runs are from its spec record, linked on each row; retired models, their last major versions and their latest security updates are from endoflife.date and Apple’s security releases page, as recorded in the iOS history file. The pattern years are computed from that file and labelled as inference.
