The Netflix app will require iOS 17 or later for future updates.

    Hmmm. What can we do to lose even more customers? Raising prices and inserting ads wasn’t enough.

    I get that iOS 17/18 supports a lot of phones but it’s surprising to see Netflix drop support for iOS 16.

      From what I have seen/heard from a few developers, is that because iOS 16 is the last OS supported by iPhone X (which had a hardware level jailbreak), there is a move to ban/flag anything lower than 17 as it its potentially running in a rooted environment.

      The existing apps will still work for the time being, but they won’t be able to be updated.
