iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe have been officially released with a fresh new look and exciting features. However, Apple is now discontinuing support for some of the oldest operating systems, leaving users with iPhones running iOS 10 and Macs with macOS Sierra unable to access iCloud services.
iPhones running iOS 10 and Macs running macOS Sierra won't be able to access iCloud
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.
