It is reported that iOS 15 will drop support for 3 iPhone models at once, and iPadOS 15 also has a support list

Although in iOS 13, Apple chose to no longer support models including iPhone 5S / iPhone 6 / iPhone 6 Plus (but in fact, it still continues to provide security and epidemic exposure notification updates in iOS 12). But in iOS 14, it isDirectly upgrade all models, and it also makes people curious whether iOS 15, which will be launched soon, will continue this policy, so that the legend that the iPhone can continue to receive new system updates continues (eh, is there such a legend?).

Unfortunately, according to foreign media information, this Apple mobile device system, which is expected to be released at this year’s WWDC Developers Conference, seems to be inevitably retiring some old models during the update. It is said that the iOS 15 update will no longer support the original iPhone SE and iPhone 6S / 6S Plus. This also means that it will end the continuous update record of a total of 6 versions of Apple mobile systems since the iOS 9 preload system. According to Wikipedia information, the previous iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 also maintained similar records.

At this stage, foreign media reports indicate that iOS 15 will support the unreleased new generation iPhone 13 and iPhone 7 / iPhone XR / iPhone XS / iPhone SE (2020) and other models. Part of iPadOS 15 is expected to be installed and used on iPad 6 / iPad Air 3 / iPad Pro / iPad mini 5 and above.

That is to say, the above are just current rumors. The actual functions of iOS 15 / iPadOS 15 and the official supported model information have yet to be determined by the official announcement.
