At a glance: what iPhones will the new iOS 16 reach? 5 models received a stopwatch mobilenet.cz | TechBuzz

Apple introduced iOS 16 at WWDC 2022. It brings a relatively big revolution in the number of new features and, for example, focuses on changes to the unlock screen. It is an unwritten rule that the final version of the new system will arrive in the autumn and it will be the same this year. So if you’re looking for iOS 16 and don’t want to experience the beta adventure, look forward to late September and October.

You will need a supported iPhone to experience the latest iOS 16. This year is a turning point in this way, as five iPhones are dropped out of a number of supported phones. As expected, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus say goodbye to support, almost 7 years after their premiere. The iOS 16 will not see the first iPhone SE of 2016 at all, and in its case we can talk about a suitably long support.

A minor surprise, however, is that Apple also exhibited the 7 and 7 Plus iPhones, which were presented to the world in September 2016. Even in their case, iOS 15 is the last version they can use. According to Apple on the official website, iOS 16 will be available for iPhone 8 and all newer pieces. Apple’s support remains above average, although not all of the new features may come in handy. For comparison, Google’s support for Pixels takes 3 years for major updates, and 5 years for critical security patches.
