No time right now?
With the next big update to iOS 15, owners of some iPhones can expect the end of support. A report suggests that the popular, compact iPhone SE from 2016, among others, has to believe in it.
The final version of iOS 14 was only released a few weeks ago, and there are already rumors about the successor from quite reliable sources. According to them, in contrast to the update from iOS 13 to iOS 14, Apple will block a few iPhone models the way to the next major update.
