FWIW, the 6 was released September 2014. The 6 alongside the 5s (released a year prior in September 2013) are still receiving patches for iOS 12, the most recent being July 15th.
For that reason I think it's more than fine to continue selling it discounted until 2018, it's not like they were marketing it as flagship.
Additionally the 6s from Sept 2015 is receiving iOS 14.
- rconti 6y agoYeah, it feels like "damned if you do, damned if you don't". Folks would complain "why can't I buy a simple phone like the 6!" if Apple only sold the latest and greatest, but then when you sell something older, folks want to complain if it's not able to run the latest OS. Not that Apple's being altruistic here, obviously they want to segment the market and get money from wherever they can. But, can't expect them to sell low price point devices that are as future-proofed (future-resisted?) as top end hardware.
