iOS 11 will 'kill' iPhone 5, 5c and iPad 4

Apple will stop supporting 32-bit devices and software starting with iOS 11, which is due to be released this fall.

This means that tens of millions of iPhones and iPads on the market may no longer receive updates, security upgrades, or new app installations in the near future.

In the iOS 11 developer beta that has been released, Apple has removed 32-bit apps from the App Store. Users searching for them will no longer see them appear like they did in iOS 10 and earlier versions.

Apple started using 64-bit processors on its mobile devices in 2013 with the first model being the iPhone 5s. This is also the smartphone with the lowest configuration that is allowed to upgrade to iOS 11 in the near future. The switch to using a 64-bit platform instead of 32-bit is explained by Apple to help applications and devices operate faster and better.

Before discontinuing older 32-bit devices like the iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, and iPad 4, Apple had a long time to prepare users and developers. Since the iOS 10 update released late last year, the device has been notified that it may slow down if users still have 32-bit applications installed. Then, the company continued to add a feature to detect "outdated" applications in the Settings section.

According to BBC, after iOS, Apple's MacOS operating system for personal computers will also be switched from 32-bit to 64-bit. MacOS High Sierra is the last version that still supports the 32-bit platform and from June 2018, all applications on the Mac App Store are required to support 64-bit.
