Headline is slightly misleading. It implies that the update is only available on the 6s, when in reality it's available for: > iPhone 6s (all models), iPhone 7

Headline is slightly misleading. It implies that the update is only available on the 6s, when in reality it's available for:
> iPhone 6s (all models), iPhone 7 (all models), iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Air 2, iPad mini (4th generation), and iPod touch (7th generation)
That's a lot of devices, more so than "10-year old iPhone 6s" implies.
I won't be upgrading my iPhone 7 and 4th gen iPad mini, because I don't want to take the chance that the update needs an update to Dopamine to be jailbroken. Fortunately they're secondary devices for me.
- jama211 1y agoI think it’s just highlighting the oldest device that got the update, not a huge deal
- jb1991 1y agoIt was a huge enough deal that the title of this post got changed.
- jama211 1y agoThat’s not a high bar, and you’re making some assumptions there, and even if it was entirely that I would still argue the old title was fine. Not misleading, just a highlight.
- gield 1y agoiPad Air 2 was released in October 2014 so the iPhone 6s is not even the oldest device in the article.
- jama211 1y agoFar less people care or remember about the ipad release dates compared to phone release dates, so it’s a reasonable editorial choice.
- LocalH 1y agoA week old but I did say "slightly" misleading, not downright untrue
