With iOS 15 Apple May End Support for Older Smartphones

A rumor that appeared on the web suggests that with the release of the fifteenth version of iOS, Apple may plan to discontinue support for older devices.

With the launch of the Apple iOS 15 operating system, the company may plan to discontinue support for a large number of older devices (in other words, they will not receive software updates). We are talking about smartphones from the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus series (via 9to5Mac). This type of device appeared on the market at the turn of 2015 and 2016 (from September 2015 to March 2016).
