it home reported on september 13 that after netflix stopped supporting apple's third-generation apple tv, it recently confirmed that its application will no longer provide compatible updates for iphones and ipads running ios 16 and earlier versions.

the new version of netflix app for ios has stopped supporting ios/ipados 16, and iphone x and the first-generation ipad pro cannot be upgraded to ios/ipados 17, which means they will not be able to run the latest version of netflix.

the following are devices that cannot be upgraded to ios / ipados 17 and above:

iPhone 8

iPhone 8 Plus

iPhone X

iPad 5 (2017)
