Apple updated its support page on September 15, excluding iOS 10 and macOS Sierra from the list of compatible platforms for iCloud services. This means that users will now need at least iOS 11 on their iPhones and macOS High Sierra on their Macs to utilize iCloud features such as iCloud Drive, iCloud Photos, iMessage, and more.
