Appleoften cuts off an older generation of iPhones whenever it unveils its latest software update, butiOS 14may be set to change that, meaning your current iPhone may still get another software update.
According to a new report, all devices that supportediOS 13in September last year will also be able to download iOS 14 when it lands later this year.
This information comes from a website calledThe Verifierthat says it spoke to a “trusted source” within Apple’s development process.
If this is true, that means devices as old as 2015’siPhone 6SandiPhone 6S Plusas well as 2016’s original iPhone SE will be capable of running the next software update.
That also means more recent devices will be able to run the software. That list includes theiPhone 7,iPhone 7 Plus,iPhone 8,iPhone 8 Plus,iPhone X,iPhone XR,iPhone XS,iPhone XS Max,iPhone 11,iPhone 11 Pro,iPhone 11 Pro Maxand this year’siPhone SE.
The report also says that the iPhone 7 series will receive another two years of support, meaning you may even be able to download iOS 15 in 2021.
It’s worth noting that The Verifier got this information right for iOS 13 ahead of the launch, but the website’s information has sometimes not come to fruition. Essentially, take this all with a pinch of salt.
