Everything comes to an end, and what seemed like a product for life becomes obsolete as the years go by. That’s probably what Apple customers who bought the iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPad Pro on release day think.
They are all good devices and ready for the future. Now, in 2024, reality hits them in the face, and Netflix reminds them that time passes for everyone.
Goodbye to the Netflix app on iOS 16
The Netflix app is no longer compatible with older iPhones and iPads running iOS 16. 9to5Mac reports that Netflix is displaying an alert to users of some devices with iOS 16 that says, “We have updated the Netflix app! To use the latest version, install iOS 17 or later.”
The change only affects devices that cannot be updated to iOS 17, such as iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus, and Apple’s first-generation iPad Pro and iPad 5 tablets.
These devices will no longer receive Netflix updates, such as important patches for bugs and other security issues. Apple will release iOS 18 on September 16th.
Netflix users stuck on iOS 16 can still access their accounts in the current version of the app for now, so they shouldn’t have any problems for a while. However, their future looks darker.
