While Apple continues to release new versions of iOS 15, the rumor mill has started churning out details for its next-gen iOS version, most likely called iOS 16. As part of the latest leak, we now have details on which iPhones will most likely support iOS 16 and the ones that might not.
A report by French publication iPhoneSoft reveals that this year, Apple will exclude a few devices from the list of iOS 16 supported devices. These devices will be ones that are powered by the A9/ A9x chipset. The list is likely to include the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 6s Plus, the first-gen iPhone SE, the iPad 5, iPad Mini 4, iPad Air 2, and the first-gen 12.9-inch iPad Pro that was launched in 2015.

It goes without saying that the 2022 iPhone and iPad models will come with support for iOS 16. As for what we can expect from iOS 16, not much is known at the moment. But, we can expect the next-gen iOS update to come with more AR/ VR features, considering Apple is likely going to launch a headset in 2022, new and improved privacy features, a possible design revamp, and much more.
