The next version of Chrome being tested will drop support for devices running iOS 16, impacting iPhone X and iPhone 8 models.
Apple had dropped support for these devices with the release of iOS 17, which Chrome will require for installation.
The upcoming Chrome v138.7204.13 will also require iPadOS 17, leading to the end of support for iPad 5, iPad Pro (9.7-inch), and iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st generation).
The new Chrome version is currently in beta testing through TestFlight, introducing features like tab groups on iPad and Google Password Manager syncing for iPhone and iPad, with stability and performance enhancements.
