The iPhone 7 was the first true black iPhone, released in 2016. Equipped with the A10 Fusion chip, it offered great performance and longer battery life compared to its predecessors.
Will iPhone 7/7 Plus be USELESS when iOS 16 comes out???
Now that it’s been 6 years since the phone was released, questions have arisen about future support. So how long will iOS be supported by Apple? Let’s find out!
Unfortunately no, iOS 15 is the end of the line for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, meaning you will no longer be able to use features available in iOS 16. The devices are currently running iOS 15.6. 1, a version that was released on August 17, 2022.
This is a surprising move from Apple, where many expected the phone to receive the new update thanks to its still-relevant performance and processing power. But it seems that the newly introduced features, APIs, and SDKs have some prerequisites that can only be supported by iPhone SE 2nd generation and later.
