Soon Apple will remove veils from iOS 15 , the next declination of mobile operating system that we will see on the latest generations of iPhones starting next fall. As usual, Apple could remove support for older models to focus on the most popular ones on the market, and it seems that quite important heads will be cut off with the next release.

According to the French website iPhoneSoft, in fact, iOS 15 will not be offered on iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE (the first version of the 2016). These three models implement the Apple A9 chip, which therefore may be cut off from the next wave of updates.

No iOS 15 on iPhone 6s, 6s Plus and SE?

iPhone 6s and its Plus variant were announced together in 2015 and have been on the market for more than five years, so the news of possible discontinued support on the next version of the operating system is not entirely a surprise. If the rumors prove reliable, therefore, these models will remain on iOS 14 and will never be updated with newer versions.

The same could also happen on iPads with hardware platforms of the same generation or less recent. iPadOS 15 may end the support on iPad mini 4 (2015), iPad Air 2 (2014) and iPad 5 (2017) , equipped with Apple A8, A8X and Apple A9 chipsets. All newer models, however, should be able to install iPadOS 15 upon release .

This is not the first time we’ve heard about the end of iOS support 15 on iPhone 6s and iPhone SE 1st generation. The first rumors in fact date back to last November, when the Israeli site The Verifier spoke about it.
