Since Apple's iPhone has been recognized by consumers around the world, several classic models have been born in the past decade or so. One of the series, known as the sales myth, is the iPhone 6 series. Including iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus four models.
Because the sales of this series of models were extremely high that year, Apple's iPhone models began to decline since the iPhone 6S series. While overall sales have performed well, none of the series has reached the height of the iPhone 6 series in terms of sales. Now just before the 2022 Apple Developer Conference, the supported models of iOS 16 have also been exposed. From the information exposed, it can be seen that the two models of the iPhone 6S series are no longer in the list. The iOS 16 minimum started with the iPhone 7 model and went all the way to the iPhone 13 series.
The iPhone 6S series was officially released on September 9, 2015, 7 years ago. The most impressive thing about this series at that time was the first promotion of rose gold as a color scheme, and then the whirlwind of rose gold in the field of smartphones. The Android camp has followed in Apple's footsteps to launch this color-matched mobile phone.
Of course, this series is only a regular upgrade compared to the previous generation, and there is not much change in it. This generation of mobile phones sells very well, and there are still many users in use so far. From time to time, you can see users holding the iPhone 6S series.
In fact, it is very normal for a phone released for seven years to be abandoned by Apple's iOS, after all, Apple has long enough service period for it. I don't believe you can see which brand in the Android camp can still carry out normal post-upgrade services for the models released seven years ago. Generally, the brand promises three years of regular upgrades and four years of security patch guarantees. This is one of the reasons why there are so many users of the old iPhone model, and the subsequent maintenance time is very long!
