It is now clear: Apple will almost certainly present the iPhone 13 at the Apple event on September 14th and announce the release date for iOS 15 on the other. For the latter point in time are therefore already two possible dates for the release of the iPhone update predictable.
iOS 15: Two release dates are conceivable
If Apple does it like last year, iOS 15 will be available for download just one day after the September keynote. Ergo: This would already be on Wednesday September 15th the case. However, this very tight time window in 2020 was the exception.
Traditionally, Apple usually releases the update shortly before the new iPhone generation goes on sale. And here the rumor mill agrees. After Apple presented the iPhone 13 on September 14th, the first pre-orders will be accepted on September 17th. Deliveries will start on September 24th. As a result, the release of iOS 15 would be in said Week from September 20th at. Either way, we no longer have to wait long.

Old iPhones are also supported
Anyone who is already using iOS 14 on their iPhone can be happy, because iOS 15 is compatible with all Apple phones that are compatible with the previous version. Even an iPhone 6s (Plus) from 2015 will still be able to use the upcoming update. However, will usually not all new functions supported by the old hardware. For example, the “Live Text” feature (text recognition in images) requires an iPhone XS or newer.
