I want to know which iPhones still receive security updates and for how long they will be supported for? I know it's all online, I saw it very recently, but for some reason I cannot find it anywhere today. Thank you.
iPhone 11, iOS 16
This is a list of devices compatible with the latest OS, not a list of devices receiving up-to-date security patches. Many people don't care about the latest OS features: They just want to know whether and for how long their phone is still safe to use. Is there a warning displayed somewhere on the phone when it's obsolete?

There is no official prediction for future support, but if you browse to
You will find the list of devices supported in iOS 17 (Sept 2023). It doesn't take a genius to work out the current list goes back about 5 years. There are also some additional security updates for older models
You will find the current list of vintage and obsolete products at
Obtaining service for your Apple product after an expired warranty - Apple Support
I don't know if it was Apple approved but I definitely came across a graph that had each iPhone and it showed the time left however it may not be a legit article and I may have made that part out or read it wrong so don't hold out for it.
Apple security releases - Apple Support
I've personally never seen any Apple provided documentation disclosing how long a device will be supported for, but if you find it I'd love to see it!
If you're questioning OS support specifically, Apple has historically supported devices for up to 6 years of OS updates, and the occasional security update here and there.
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks mate have a good day.
Where can I see which iPhones still get security updates and for how long they will recieve them?
