iOS 15 supported models announced, this generation of classic iPhone will eventually retire

According to foreign media 9to5Mac, the well-known whistleblower The Verifier recently released a report on iOS 15 supported models.

It is understood that this media had previously accurately predicted that iOS 13 would abandon support for iPhone 5S/6 series, and that the models supported by iOS 14 would remain the same as iOS 13.

As a result, the models supported by iOS 15 will include:

• iPhone 2021 models
• iPhone 12 mini
• iPhone 12
• iPhone 12 Pro
• iPhone 12 Pro Max
• 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)

As usual, iOS 15 will be released at the WWDC 2021 developer conference in the middle of next year. At that time, Apple will release a beta version for users to upgrade and experience. As for the official version of iOS 15, it will have to wait until the new iPhone is officially released.

The iPhone 6S series was released in September 2015, and the first generation of iPhone SE was released in March 2016. Both were pre-installed with iOS 9, and so far these products have been able to receive Apple system update support. Even the latest iOS 14 system still maintains compatibility with these devices.

After many years, the sales of iPhone 6s series are still at the top of the list among all previous iPhone models. We can still see a large number of iPhone 6s models active around the world.

Although Apple has used many methods to encourage iPhone 6s users to change their phones, it is still very diligent in system updates. Even though iOS 14 officially canceled the update for iPhone 6 this year, it successfully extended the life of iPhone 6s for another year. The reason for this is that in addition to the performance of the phone itself being able to support iOS 14, an important reason is that its position as the "number one nail household" of mobile phones is basically unshakable.

Unfortunately, the legendary iPhone is coming to an end. According to Apple's habit, when the latest system no longer supports the old model, it is not far from becoming an obsolete product. Users who are still using iPhone 6S should cherish it. As of this year, iPhone 6S has been in service for 5 years, and it is indeed time for users to replace it with a new one.
