As an Apple user, I’ve found that product longevity is one of my biggest feature priorities. Though I upgrade to a new phone every three to four years, I still use my 8th-generation iPad daily, love my 2019 iMac, and always wear my Apple Watch 7.
However, with new iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, and WatchOS being showcased at WWDC this past June and new features announced today during Apple’s iPhone event, you may wonder about your device’s compatibility with Apple’s latest software versions.
