Storyboard Sizes for iOS 11?

I currently use Storyboard for Screensizes. The following storyboards I use are:

Each Storyboard corresponds to the screen size in the name.

Now with the iPhone X out, I need to create a new storyboard for this screen size.

However, my question is, what screensizes must I account for, with iOS 11? And just out of curiosity, what screensizes must I account for, with iOS 10?

I'm finding conflicting information, so I thought I'd reach out here for clarification. I'm thinking of making this update for iOS 11 users only, meaning I may be able to drop some older storyboards.

Thanks.

Separate storyboards for different screen sizes is a quick route to maintenance nightmares compared to Auto Layout, but whatever floats your boat...

That said, your set of supported screen sizes is correct for iOS 9 (which supports devices as far back as iPhone 4s, a 3.5" screen). iOS 10 drops support for 3.5" devices, but still supports 4" devices (iPhone 5s and iPhone SE, the latter of which remains for sale and will thus likely be supported for years to come). iOS 11 drops no further screen sizes (but does drop some... uh, bit sizes?), and of course, adds iPhone X.
