At the same time as the official version of iOS 15.2 was pushed, the news of iOS 16 appeared rarely. Although not from the official, the industry said that as early as the official release of iOS 15, Apple has begun to work on the development of iOS 16. On December 21, overseas media brought the latest news of iOS 16.
Messages from the "iPhonesoft" show that Apple is ready to give up support for the iPhone 6S on iOS 16, as well as the iPhone 6S Plus, the first generation of the iPhone SE. This means that the models supported by iOS 16 will start from the iPhone 7 series, and if this report is true, it also means that iOS 16 needs to be equipped with apple 10 bionic processor products at the minimum.
But this is not official news, because iOS 16 will not be officially announced until the 2022 Apple Developer Conference, when the supported models will appear. In fact, it should be right to abandon the support of the iPhone 6S series, because iOS 14 supports it, iOS 15 supports it, and it is really not necessarily true to iOS 16.
If iOS 16 really abandons the iPhone 6S series, then the most cattle iPhone in Apple's history will finally come to an end. Because the iPhone 6 series has set the largest single-model sales record in the history of Apple's mobile phones, there are still many loyal users who have been using it so far. Since the iPhone 6 series, Apple's overall sales of iPhones have been declining, and no generation of iPhones can reach the height of the iPhone 6 series. And that year the iPhone 6S debuted a color match called rose gold, this color matching out of the Android camp immediately began to follow the trend, this past I believe many people remember.
Even if the iPhone 6S series is abandoned, Apple is the brand that has the longest service for old models among all brands in the current smartphone field. Because the iPhone 6S was officially released in 2015, it has been more than six years since Apple is still updating and maintaining its system. None of the brands in the Android camp can do this, even if the regular iOS version does not support it, Apple will still push security patches in the future.
