Streaming Shock: Is Netflix About to Pull the Plug on iPhone Users

Netflix to End Support for Older iPhone Models

Netflix has announced that it will be ending support for iPhone models older than the iPhone Xs. This means that users with older iPhone models will no longer receive updates from the Netflix app.

Apple’s latest operating system, iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, is set to be released on September 17. Users with an iPhone Xs or later, or an iPhone or iPad currently running iOS 17, will be able to upgrade to the new operating system.

However, users with iPhone X or earlier models will not be able to update the Netflix app. While they will still be able to watch Netflix, they will not have access to new features or bug fixes.

This change does not mean that users with older iPhone models will be unable to watch Netflix immediately. However, it is likely that a major app update will eventually prevent customers from using the latest version of the app in the future.

What This Means for iPhone Users

iPhone users with older models may need to consider upgrading to a newer device in order to continue using the Netflix app with the latest features and updates.
