In November 2020, it was reported that Apple would end support for three iPhone models under iOS 15. Now there is a second report that confirms this and offers more details.
At the end of last year, The Verifier reportedthat Apple wants to stop software support for the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE (2016) under iOS 15. Now the blog iPhoneSoft has spoken out reported. This also claims that the three devices mentioned above are about to be discontinued. According to the documents, Apple seems to want to stop supporting devices with A9 chips under iOS 15. This means that, if the information is correct, the following devices will no longer be taken into account:
- iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
- iPhone SE 2016
- iPad mini 4
- iPad Air 2
- iPad 5
