Around this time, in the past two years, we published an article in which a rumor suggests that IPhone 6s will not be compatible with the next version of iOS. A rumor which, as we all know, did not come true. But by 2022, this rumor could be confirmed.
According to the guys at iPhonesoft, based on the information it got from Apple employees, the company is considering dropping the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE
We will have to wait until WWDC 2022 to know if it’s finally confirmed Whether or not older iPhones and iPads currently powered by iOS 15 have the chance to be upgraded to the next version of iOS.
The guys at iPhonesoft said last year that in 2021, these same devices would not be updated to iOS 15. Obviously this year they are announcing the same prediction again because they have a better chance of being correct, considering how long these devices have been on the market.
If this information is confirmed, it would mean that iOS 16 would require the A10 processor
The most recent device on the list that won’t receive iOS 16 is the 5th generation iPad, a device launched in March 2017. While this news is confirmed, it is assumed that Apple will continue to release iOS 15 updates for these devices, as it does with all devices that, despite being compatible with iOS 15, have decided to stick with it. iOS 14.
