A new rumor claims that Apple will drop support for the iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPhone 5s, and iPhone SE with the release of iOS 13.
iPhonesoft.fr says, "Apple should cut in the fat this year and leave several devices aside. Here is a first list of Apple devices that will host iOS 13 gleaned from a developer friend at Apple and who works in particular on the Apps Plans."
iPhones compatible with iOS 13: 2019 iPhone XI and iPhone XIR, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus
iPhones not compatible with iOS 13: iPhone 5s, iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus
iPads compatible with iOS 13: iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2016 and 2017, iPad Pro 10.5-inch, 9.7-inch iPad Pro, iPad Pro 11-inch 2018, iPad Air 2, iPad Air 3, iPad 5, iPad 6, iPad Mini 4, iPad Mini 3
iPads not compatible with iOS 13: iPad Mini 2, iPad Air
Apple is expected to unveil iOS 13 at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June. We should officially learn which devices are compatible at that time. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
If anyone else is bothered by a phone that is still sold being dropped from support, send your feedback to Apple now. If you wait until confirmation we will likely be to far along in the development cycle for any change.
My iPhone SE is not even 12 months old. If I don’t even get one update I’ll be seeking a full refund from Apple under our consumer protection law. It’s always been the expectation that Apple supports its products for years. If this report is true I’m not impressed at all.
