Check your iPhone model number right now to see if you’re in danger.
You might be putting yourself at unnecessary risk if you’ve had the same iPhone for a long time.
That’s because it’s possible that it’s now so outdated that you could be easily hacked.
Every year, Apple releases a new iOS, which is the operating system for your iPhone.
These iOS updates include not only new features, but also important security updates that close security holes exploited by hackers.
Apple just announced iOS 16 at its WWDC 2022 event, and we expect it to launch alongside the iPhone 14 in September.
However, some iPhone models that could run iOS 15 will be unable to upgrade to iOS 16.
As a result, they’ll begin missing security updates later this year.
Because Apple can’t support all iPhones indefinitely, older iPhone models frequently lose access to updates.
Sometimes these older iPhones lack the processing power to support new features, or there aren’t enough people who use them to warrant an update.
Apple is now discontinuing the iPhone 6S, iPhone 7, and first-generation iPhone SE.
These phones were compatible with the current version of iOS 15.5, but they will not be updated to iOS 16.
The following is a complete list of iOS 16 compatible devices:
