Hi,


Do you have informations about how long iOS will be supported on:

  • iPhone 8,
  • iPhone SE (2nd),
  • iPhone 11,
  • iPhone XR?

I mean for how many years updates will be available on above devices.

You're not addressing Apple here, and we, just users like you, are not aware of Apple future plans.

But, just give you an idea, generally all iPhone models supports iOS updates for 4-5 years (after their release on the market). But it is not a rule, only a statistical datum.

Regards

Since they are rather new models, I guess at least a couple of years, if you want to run the latest iOS Versions.

The iPhone SE has been introduced in 2016, running iOS 9, and is still supporting iOS 13 after all those years.

You should get the same time out of the latest iPhone models. But only Apple knows exactly about future iOS plans.


At some point there probably will not be anymore iOS updates, but older devices like the iPhone 4s are still usable, if you don't depend o the latest iOS features.
