I've wondered if they plan to drop support for 4" screens in iOS 13 or 14 on account of the iPhone SE being discontinued now. With a new product launch in this form factor maybe that pushes it out a bit.
A10 is from the iPhone 7, previous iPod Touch was an A8 from the iPhone 6. So the other thing hanging over the iPhone SE is the A9 processor from the iPhone 6s. We'll see how long that part stays supported.
- antome 7y agoApple seems to provide IOS updates, at least with the iPhones, for about 4-5 years. Assuming the trend holds with the SE, I would probably expect them to at least support it into mid 2020.
- wlesieutre 7y agoI suspect the SE's support is tied to the 6s's, being a small offshoot model released mid-cycle that Apple doesn't care too much about. So based on that, the 6s was the 2015 phone launch, running iOS 9. Updates in 2016, 2017, 2018, probably 2019, hopefully 2020, probably not 2021. Last phone they dropped support for was the iPhone 5 in iOS 11. Compatibility list was the same in iOS 12 (with nice performance fixes on older hardware), but 13 is probably the end of the line for the 5s and 6.
