Apple will hold WWDC 2022 on June 6, when the new iOS 16 system will be launched. In addition to the new features, netizens are most concerned about how many models can get iOS 16. On April 24, according to the latest revelations of LeaksApplePro, iOS 16 decided to remove support for iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the original iPhone SE.
The above models can be said to be Apple's longest-lived models in history, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the original iPhone SE, the factory system is iOS 9, all the way to iOS 15. Apple can also provide update maintenance for a mobile phone from nearly seven years ago, which is already more conscientious than most mobile phone manufacturers.
Of course, nail households that are still using the above models do not have to worry, even if they do not have access to iOS 16, Apple will still push regular patches on the basis of iOS 15. However, if you want to update iOS 16, it is best to pay for a new iPhone, now the price of the iPhone SE3 is slowly coming down, more than two thousand to support 5G, more powerful and classic Touch ID model, it is better than sticking to the old model.
Then again, there are too many users of the iPhone 6, 6s, and SE series, and new machines are emerging in an endless stream, but they still can't pull out these nails. Nowadays, on the street and in the subway, we can see many people still using these iPhones from a few years ago. In their eyes, the mobile phone is not broken, the use experience is still smooth, there is no need to change the new mobile phone, it can be seen that the quality of the iPhone 6s itself is also very strong.
Xiao Lei learned that the iPhone 6s series is the highest sales volume in recent generations of iPhones, reaching 125 million units, and to this day, there are still many related models in circulation on the second-hand platform. The follow-up is the more popular iPhone 11, which sold 102 million units, and it is estimated that the next longevity model should be the iPhone 11.
When iOS 15 was exposed, there was also news that the iPhone 6s could not be upgraded, and finally "barely" ate the new system, but this time there was no chance of iOS 16, Xiao Lei thought it was normal, a mobile phone that had been released for more than six years, the performance had long been seriously left behind, and forcibly upgrading the new system would make the mobile phone experience worse, and the small partners who did not pursue the new system could also stay in iOS 15 to continue to retire.
