We won’t know for certain till Apple’s WWDC hits the Web later this month (this year it’s online-only), however there’s mounting evidence that the upcoming iOS 14 will support every device at the moment operating iOS 13.
The Verifier came to this conclusion based on clues present in early development code from iOS 14 in addition to an unnamed trusted source. Here’s the list of all devices headed for the subsequent iOS version:
- iPhone SE (2020)
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XR
- iPhone X
- iPhone 8
- iPhone 8 Plus
- iPhone 7
- iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone SE
- iPhone 6s
- iPhone 6s Plus
- iPod touch (7th gen)
It’s spectacular that the iPhone 6s from late 2015 continues to be getting major updates.
Same goes for the marginally younger iPhone SE, which not too long ago received a long-awaited successor. This is the end of the road for both phones, nonetheless, they won’t see iOS 15.
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are in better shape and may anticipate to receive updates for the next two years, in accordance with the source (so, iOS 16).
Remember the fact that WWDC (June 22) will convey the beta version of the new operating system, the stable update will probably come out alongside the iPhone 12.
So, what will be the new features in iOS 14? There’s talk of a list view option for the home screen (with Siri-powered smart suggestions) and presumably even home screen widgets.
“Clips” is one other feature, permitting apps to run without installation (much like Android’s Instant apps), but in addition exhibiting a partial UI from one app inside another (just like Android’s Slices).
