  • Multiple rumors suggest iOS 15 will not support iPhone 6S and the first-gen iPhone SE
  • No updates yet on what else to expect with iOS 15
  • iOS 15 is expected to arrive at WWDC21



Multiple new rumors suggest that Apple is planning to drop support for the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus with next year’s release of iOS 15.

This would mean that iOS 15 would only run on the following devices:
  • 2021 iPhone lineup
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max
  • iPhone 12 Pro
  • iPhone 12 mini
  • iPhone 12
  • iPhone 11
  • iPhone 11 Pro
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max
  • iPhone XS
  • iPhone XS Max
  • iPhone XR
  • iPhone X
  • iPhone 8
  • iPhone 8 Plus
  • iPhone 7
  • iPhone 7 Plus
  • iPhone SE (2nd generation)
  • iPod touch (7th generation)

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.
