The subtlety here is that Apple doesn't make their newest OS with all of its software-only features available to all the phones they still support. I am considering changing to an iPhone SE because the iPhone 5 will never run iOS 11. My old iPad is running iOS 9. These are still getting updates to the OSs that do run on them, but the feature set is more or less frozen on these now.
- Dylan16807 9y ago> the iPhone 5 will never run iOS 11 That's still five years between introduction and iOS 11, or four years between discontinuation and iOS 11. Google promises something like 2.5 and 1.5 years for their phones, and that's pretty much top of the pack.
- thisacctforreal 9y agoThe iPhone 5s (Sept 2013) is the last generation for iOS 11. ARKit features require hardware from SE or 6s onward. They 5s is a lovely device. It's missing the Secure Enclave, but the iPhone SE makes a cozy upgrade as it used the same chassis.
- earenndil 9y agoThe 5s has SEP. All devices with touch ID have it (the 5s was the first).
- cardiffspaceman 9y agoFor the record, the iPhone 5 I own is just "iPhone 5" not 5c or 5s. The accurate comments here on the 5s don't apply to my phone, at least not as far as I know.
