Apple’s iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus were first introduced in September of 2015, followed by the iPhone SE in March of 2016. The devices were incredibly popular and have received over four years of software updates from Apple. iOS 15 will still support the most recent release of iPhone SE (which has a design that is nearly identical to the iPhone 6s). As for what new features and added functionality to expect in iOS 15, we haven’t yet heard any rumors or changes coming with the update. Apple won’t officially announce iOS 15 until WWDC 2021.
