Have you ever heard of an Android device getting a new software update if it’s more than three years old?

Apple just set a new record by announcing that the iPhone 6s, which was released in September 2015, will receive the iOS 15 update later this year.

The iPhone SE first-generation, which was released in March 2016, is the next device to receive the iOS 15 update.While it’s no surprise that the iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, and iPhone SE may miss out on a slew of new features introduced with iOS 15, it’s worth noting that the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE may be left out.

Mostly due to hardware limitations, but it’s still a promising thing for someone who is familiar with the Android ecosystem and knows what it’s like to be left out of even promised software updates.Due to processor limitations, some iOS 15 features such as Visual Lookup, Live Text in photos, FaceTime updates, and others will not be supported on the iPhone 6s, according to The Verge.Both Ars Technica and Macworld conducted performance tests on the iPhone 6s following the iOS 14 update last year, and both found major issues with battery standby.

Security patches and bug fixes are also included in the new update.Given that the iPhone 5s stopped receiving iOS updates after five years, the extended iOS support for the iPhone 6s is surprising.Apple’s announcement of the compatible iPhones that will receive the iOS 15 update sparked jokes on Twitter, with some hailing the iPhone 6s and others criticizing the move.Some people were worried about the iPhone 6s’ performance after the iOS 15 update, and others compared it to the Android ecosystem.Google, for example, guarantees Pixel phones will receive Android version updates for at least three years after they are first released.

The Pixel 3a and 3a XL will be updated until May 2022, while the Pixel 3 and 3XL will be updated until October of this year.Samsung promised four years of security updates for its 2019 and later phones earlier this year.
