A new report suggests that Apple is planning to drop support for the iPhone
SE, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus with next year's release of iOS 15. This
comes after Apple maintained compatibility with all of those devices this
year with iOS 14.
The report comes from
<https://theverifier.co.il/50272/ios-15-ends-support-iphone-6s-iphone-6s-plu
s-iphone-se/> The Verifier, which has a mixed track record when it comes to
Apple rumors. With that being said, it did accurately report that the iPhone
5s and iPhone 6 would not get updates past iOS 12. It also
<https://9to5mac.com/2020/06/01/ios-14-device-compatibility/> accurately
reported that iOS 14 would support all of the same iPhones as iOS 13.
This would mean that iOS 15 would run on the following iPhones:
2021 iPhone lineup
* iPhone 12 Pro Max
* iPhone 12 Pro
* iPhone 12 mini
* iPhone 12
* iPhone 11
* iPhone 11 Pro
* iPhone 11 Pro Max
* iPhone XS
* iPhone XS Max
* iPhone XR
* iPhone X
* iPhone 8
* iPhone 8 Plus
* iPhone 7
* iPhone 7 Plus
* iPhone SE (2nd generation)
* iPod touch (7th generation)
The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus were originally introduced in September of
2015, followed by the iPhone SE in March of 2016. The devices were
incredibly popular and have received over four years of software updates
from Apple.
With the iPhone 12 mini and the second-generation iPhone SE, Apple now sells
two modern devices that match the form factor of the iPhone 6s design. The
second-generation iPhone SE is actually nearly identical to the iPhone 6s in
terms of design, but with the modern A13 processor inside. The iPhone 12
mini is physically smaller, but offers a bigger display because of its
edge-to-edge design, alongside the A14 processor and an improved camera
system.
As for what to expect in iOS 15, we haven't yet heard any rumors about new
features or changes coming with the update. We don't expect Apple to
officially announce iOS 15 until WWDC 2021.
