I think it’s much more likely than a highly remote possibility.
Speaking of iPads, I’m surprised that no new pro”s where announced.
Hmmm, I've never had data loss due to installing a beta. Sure, it CAN happen, but I've yet to see it.
That was one of the dumbest rumors ever, and I'm so glad that it can now officially be declared as 100% certified bogus BS!
But obsoleting a 3 year old phone can have ramifications.
My iPhone 6+ is running iOS12 just fine and I don't see any major leaps in iOS13 that it couldn't handle.
I think more likely is that the iPhone 6 line was their first attempt at larger phones and was the source of both #BendGate and #BatteryGate. And Apple may be tiring of dealing with the ongoing problems from both issues.
I guess that the A8 chip just doesn't make the cut anymore.
Not so true: IF you bought it in 2016
These aren't desktop chips that see incremental improvements each year, they are mobile chips that have massive leaps in power every generation. This was a reasonable decision, and if you have zero interest in having a phone newer than the 6, nor all the advantages that would being in every single respect, I don't see why you think you're entitled to every latest cutting edge OS feature. The iPhone 6 has horrible specs by today's standards, a very poor camera, slow wireless connectivity, etc. You're fine with that, yet you demand a software update that will be released at the end of 2019. This is utterly childish. Even if you bought the iPhone 6 at the very last day it was being sold, you still would have got 3 more solid years of updates and a shitload of new features. Not sure how you can scoff at that. If you really cared about the latest software features, why wouldn't you be willing to spend a bit of money, and get a 7 or even a 6S, which would both provide a huge leap of performance over yours?
"The iPhone 6 was relaunched with 32 GB of storage in Asian markets in February 2017 as a midrange/budget iPhone. It was later expanded to Europe,[23][24] before hitting the US markets in May 2017,[25] and Canada in July 2017.[26] . The iPhone 6 supports iOS 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 before being dropped by iOS 13."
