The iOS 15 update, which was released to users this year, was introduced to many older iPhone devices. But Apple doesn’t seem to have the same thought for iOS 16, which will be released next year. The company now plans to discontinue the update for aging iPhone and iPad models.
According to the information obtained by the French-based news site iPhonesoft from Apple employees, 7 devices will not be able to receive an upgrade for the new version. iPhones with A9 and A9X processors and iPads with A8 processors will not be able to benefit from the upcoming update. We have brought together these unfortunate models for you.
Three iPhone models won’t get iOS 16
Apple will distribute the iOS 16 beta version to its users at the WWDC event in June 2022. But some models will be missing from this update. The company will allegedly require the A10 processor on phones to distribute the new version of iOS.
Three models stand out among the phones that will not receive the iOS 16 update. iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s+ and iPhone SE 2016 models will not receive this update. Apple will sacrifice these phones to get the best performance for gaming and the interface in general.
