Millions of iPhones will be unable to use Google Chrome.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - The latest update to the Google Chrome browser will stop supporting iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

According to MacRumors , Google is developing a new version of the Chrome browser for mobile devices; however, this update will discontinue support for devices running iOS 16.

Google's decision is seen as following Apple's product update roadmap. Previously, when releasing iOS 17, Apple also stopped supporting products such as the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

This means the new version of Chrome will not work on iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X models. This move could have a significant impact, as millions of users worldwide still use these devices.

Similarly, the new version of Chrome will only support iPadOS 17 and later. Therefore, this change also affects a range of older tablet models, including the 5th generation iPad, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (first generation).

Not long before that, Google also released an update for the YouTube app on the iOS platform, requiring devices to be running iOS 16 or later to install and use it.

This change means that a number of older iPhone and iPad models will no longer be directly compatible with the YouTube app.

Affected iPhone models include the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and the first-generation iPhone SE. Additionally, the 7th-generation iPod Touch is also on the list of devices that are no longer supported.
