Advanced Data Protection does require all iCloud Ecosystem devices to be current.

Not every person can afford the latest and greatest.

It requires iOS 16 and MacOS 13.

The devices that max out at those operating systems are 9 and 10 year old.

Current or on a current OS?

Edit: I just enabled it and I have a iPhone 11 on my iCloud account.

So, just latest OS.

Which Apple gives you basically forever instead of maybe a year of old updates with android.
