The iOS 16 upgrade list abandons the iPhone 7 series!More and more users fight back against Apple

iOS 16 has been released, and the abandonment of many magic machines in the upgrade list has also attracted complaints from many users, but the voice against Apple has begun to grow louder.

Apple is facing collective complaints from users after announcing that iOS 16 will not support the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. iOS 16 will bring major changes and customizations to the lock screen, long-awaited changes in iMessage like marking as unread and message editing, and more.

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were released in September 2016. The iPhone 7 Plus was the first iPhone to feature a dual camera. Both models were the first to get rid of the physical home button and replace it with a tactile button. The iPhone 7 also marked the end of the headphone jack on the iPhone body.

iOS 15 supports devices as old as the second-generation iPhone SE, including the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. While iOS 16 was expected to drop support for the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, and the now-discontinued iPod touch, Apple surprisingly dropped support for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus as well.

Some developers have said that Apple can make iOS 16 support the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, but only disable some newer CPUs and ML-related heavy-duty features. In doing so, iPhone 7 users will still benefit from the performance and security enhancements that iOS 16 offers, as well as small improvements like the ability to edit iMessages that don’t require a lot of CPU work.
