Apple’s next version os its iOS mobile operating system – iOS 15 – will end support for a number of older iPhones.<\/p>\n
This is according to a report by The Verifier<\/strong><\/a>, which said that iOS 15 will remove support for the original iPhone SE, as well as the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.<\/p>\n This means that only the iPhone 7 and newer devices will be supported by Apple’s operating system.<\/p>\n These smartphones will still function normally on the currently available iOS 14 operating system, but they will no longer receive any version updates.<\/p>\n Therefore if you have one of the affected smartphones want to stay up to date with Apple’s new software features, you will need to upgrade to a new iPhone.<\/p>\n The last two iOS releases, iOS 14 and iOS 13, did not drop support for older handsets upon release.<\/p>\n The most recent iOS 14 updates have addressed launch issues with Apple’s latest range of iPhones<\/strong><\/a> – the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Mini.<\/p>\n These included display problems on the iPhone 12 Mini and bug fixes across all devices.<\/p>\n Apple’s new iPhone 12 devices include the company’s new A14 Bionic chipset, which boasts significant performance improvements over the previous generation.<\/p>\n It uses a 5nm manufacturing process and includes 11.8 billion transistors, with all of its cores being up to 40% faster than the A13 Bionic \u2013 while also being more power-efficient.<\/p>\n These smartphones also sport a new MagSafe feature – comprising a magnet on the back of the handset which attachments can latch onto.<\/p>\n These include cardholders and wallets, and the magnet also improves the fast-charging capabilities of the new iPhones.<\/p>\n The company has also stopped shipping new earphones or charging bricks with its new devices, citing the positive environmental impact of this decision.<\/p>\n Apple’s next version os its iOS mobile operating system – iOS 15 – will end support for a number of older iPhones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341028,"featured_media":159223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[605,67786,30912,32734,36201],"class_list":["post-377128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-apple","tag-ios-15","tag-iphone-6s","tag-iphone-6s-plus","tag-iphone-se"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377128"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341028"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}New iPhone lineup<\/h3>\n
