Google Chrome will require iOS 17, leading to the discontinuation of support for older iPhones and iPads like iPhone X and certain iPad Pro models.
The removal date is unspecified, but the upcoming stable version of Chrome in the App Store will likely cease support for older devices due to their lack of processing power and memory.
The decision to drop support for old hardware aims to enhance performance and stability on newer devices and allows the development team to focus on optimizing Chrome for newer platforms.
Specific iPhone and iPad models, including iPhone X, iPhone 8, fifth-generation iPad, and older iPad Pro models, will no longer be supported by Chrome due to the new system requirements mandating iOS 17.
