How to tell which version of iOS you’re running
Take a look at our best iPhone deals round-up where we share the most recent money-saving deals. If your iPhone isn’t supported by iOS 17, 16 or 15 then you might want to consider upgrading to a newer device. But iPhones 6, 6 Plus and 5S, which rely on iOS 12, will probably lose support. We anticipate that Apple will continue to support iOS 16 for the sake of the iPhones X, 8 and 8 Plus, and iOS 15 for the iPhones 7, 6S, 6S Plus and SE. With the advent of iOS 17 in September the list of supported iOS versions will likely change again. We don’t imagine that Apple will be issuing any further iOS 12 updates though. This extended the list of supported handsets to include the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and the iPhone 5S, handsets that arrived in 2014, and a few iPads that can’t be upgraded to iPadOS. If support ended at iOS 15 though that would leave a number of iPhones unsupported, so Apple has been known to issue security updates for iOS 12–one arrived as recently as January 2023. Because iPhones that could run iOS 13 and iOS 14 can run iOS 15, those versions of iOS are considered obsolete by Apple and aren’t updated. Apple currently supports the last two generations of the iPhone operating system: iOS 16 or 15. It should be noted that Apple has stopped supporting a lot of the older versions of iOS now, meaning there are no new security patches for them. We’ve not listed the smaller ‘point’ releases, as they change all the time, so take it as understood that any version of iOS that the iPhone is shown as supporting (such as iOS 16) also means any smaller point updates too (such as iOS 16.4.1). To show you which version of iOS your iPhone can run, we’ve broken down each iPhone generation so you know which version it originally shipped with (as that will be the earliest it can run) and the latest iteration it currently supports–including whether that iPhone will support iOS 17. The latest iOS version supported by each iPhone
