The latest update of iPadOS 17 will be dropping support for three older iPad models, including the first-ever iPad Pro models, according to reports. The affected models are the 5th-gen iPad from 2017, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro from 2016, and the 1st-gen 12.9-inch iPad Pro from 2015. Apple’s A9 processor powers all three models, which debuted alongside the iPhone 6 and 6s Plus in 2015. While Apple is expected to continue support for all models that supported iOS 16 on the iPhone side, this isn’t guaranteed with older models. The full release of iPadOS 17 is expected in the fall, and more information on the update’s features and compatibility will be announced at WWDC on June 5.
