Apple’s upcoming iOS 15 operating system, which we are expected to launch in June, has reportedly dropped support for some of Apple’s older iPhones.

According to the French website iPhoneSoft, IOS 15 can not be installed on the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 6s Plus or 2016 iPhone SE, all of which have an A9 chip.
The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were launched in 2015 and are now more than five years old. It is therefore not surprising that the smartphones are not expected to be able to use iOS 15. If the rumors are true, these iPhones cannot be updated to iOS 14.
OSIOS 15 will be used on the iPhone 7, PiPhone 7 Plus, and all newer iPhones that have been released, making it compatible with devices with an A10 chip or newer. The seventh generation iPod touch has an A10 chip, so it should be able to use iOS 15.
As for the iPad, iPadOS 15 could potentially drop support for the iPad mini 4 (2015), iPad Air 2 (2014) and iPad 5 (2017), equipped with A8, A8X and A9 chips, respectively. All newer iPads are expected to support the update.
This is the second time we hear that iOS 15 will not be available on the iPhone 6s and the iPhone SE, as an Israeli website. The verification said the same in November.
