iOS 16 became the first thing announced at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2022). Among the latest feature was the lock screen where users can now select a font from a selected font row (as on Pixel) and add widgets.
There must be a mixed feeling for iPhone users, especially with regard to its use of it. Maybe we are presented with an all-new key display (lock screen) but not many other additions.
iOS 16 officially started its journey out to iPhones so it is important for consumers to know whether their individual iPhone model is supported with the new version.
Based on Apple’s official website, only the 2nd generation iPhone SE and above will receive the update. This means that the iPhone 7, iPhone SE gen-1 and iPhone 6s series have indirectly been removed from the list.
The following is a full list of iPhone models that receive iOS 16 support: iPhone SE Gen-2 and iPhone SE Gen-3, iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS and XS Max. Next models are iPhone XR, iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. Then iPhone 12, 12 mini, 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. Lastly are iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max.
