When the release of iOS 15 is due in autumn 2021, some models of the Apple smartphone will probably no longer receive the update. For the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 6s Plus and the iPhone SE (1st generation) there should be no more updates.

At least that's what The Verifier writes. Accordingly, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus from 2015 and the iPhone SE (1st generation) from 2016 will not receive iOS 15. This step would not come as a complete surprise: Apple usually supplies its devices for a period of four up to five years with software updates – and therefore significantly longer than is otherwise the case with smartphones. But at some point there are no more updates from Apple either.

These models should get iOS 15

• iPhone 2021
• 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 (2020)
• iPod touch (7th generation)

IOS 14 would be the last version of the operating system for the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the first iPhone SE. The possible end of support means that the affected cell phones will no longer receive updates for iOS. Nevertheless, the smartphones can still be used for a long time without major restrictions, and popular apps such as WhatsApp continue to work. It will take until iOS 15 anyway: The release should not be due until autumn 2021.
