Speaking of iOS, it seems that past models are compatible with a wide range, but someday the deadline will come. According to overseas reports, support for the original iPhone SE and iPhone 6s may be discontinued in iOS 16 released next year.
Personally, I buy a new iPhone every year, so I have never experienced a crisis due to the end of support for iOS. However, on my old iPad, I have encountered situations such as the end of support preventing apps from being installed.
Now, according to the information that iPhonesoft got from internal sources, iOS 16 is compatible with not only the above iPhone but also iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad (5th generation), iPad Pro (2015 model). It is said that there is no. Hmmm, the iPad is also affected a lot ...
By the way, iPhonesoft has a track record of accurately pinpointing supported models on iOS 13 and 14. However, iOS 15 couldn't provide support information for the original iPhone SE and iPhone 6s. If this information is correct, iOS 16 will require an "A10 processor" or later to work.
By the way, the iPhone 6s was released in 2015, and the first iPhone SE was released in 2016. Considering that support has continued for more than 6 years, it seems that Apple was rather concerned about past models.
