The upcoming iOS 12 this year may continue to support iPhone 5S

One of the additional positive points for iOS is its support for older devices, unlike the Android system that supports devices for two to three years at the latest. For example, iOS 11 supports older devices like the iPhone 5S, released in 2013, which means five years ago.

Now there is a possibility that there may be a few people who are still using the iPhone 5S, and if you are one of them, we have a good news today that iOS 12, expected later this year, will continue to support the iPhone 5S. This is according to the WebKit development test report where support for the iPhone 5S is mentioned. This was first discovered by MacGeneration.

This may be interesting if it happens because over the past years, we've seen that Apple drops at least one device support each time you launch a new major version of iOS. For example, Apple stopped supporting the iPhone 4S with iOS 10. With the release of iOS 11, Apple stopped supporting iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C, which is why Apple was supposed to stop supporting IPhone 5S phone with iOS 12 system.

It should be noted that nothing like this has been confirmed, which means that iPhone 5S may still not be supported by iOS 12. But as we said, we do not think there are many people who are still using this iPhone 5S Days, thus stopping support may not have a significant impact in either case.
