Apple has just recently announced its latest iOS 14 updates
at the annual Worldwide Developer Conference. We also got to see the new
features and UI updates that the new OS will bring to the compatible iPhones.
However, the iOS 14 update will not be made available to all iPhones, and just
like last year with iOS 13, some models will see their lifespan ending this
year.
With iOS 13 release, the support for older iPhones, namely,
iPhone 5, 6, and 6 plus, was ended. This means these phones will not receive
further software upgrades from Apple. This year, Apple has been generous as the
compatibility of the new OS will be made available to the 2015 iPhones,
starting from iPhone 6s and beyond that.
Since Apple’s launch of the OG iPhone back in 2007, the
support and compatibility of the new OS have gradually increased. The iPhone
6s, which is now five years old and was launched with iOS 9, is still
compatible with the latest iOS 14 update.
The iOS 14 will officially be released in the fall of 2020.
Take a look at the following infographic which shows all the iOS updates and their compatibility for each iPhone.
