I still use my old 5S as a desk clock / calendar notifications / etc for my office space at work. That smaller screen is the perfect size for such a thing.

No, as the SE can be updated to iOS 15.6.1 for the latest security patches.
Thank you!
Although I am fearful of downloading any Apple patch as I have been on the receiving end of having their patches screw up my phones/pads/MBPs... I guess I truly need to get 15.6.1.
Thanks again!
I wonder how long they’ll keep providing updates to iOS 15. It’s the first time since iOS 13 that devices are left behind, iOS 13/14/15 all supported the same (+new) models.
Thank you, Apple. Our iPad Mini 3 (2014) is still in almost day-to-day use.
Sometimes I still miss the old home button. Lol. Love Face ID though.
Downloading the update on iPhone 6 Plus 128gb with battery health at 96% I've bought on woot! several months ago as I'm typing right now.
Awesome.
How thoughtful of you, Apple!

No. 12.4.1 was the last version of iOS 12 that supported the 6s and that hasn’t been signed for nearly three years at this point.
My SE is running 12.4.1. I'd like to get this patch for the security vulnerabilities because I don't want 15.6.1. Unfortunately, that's not possible.
Although it fixes this vulnerability it doesn’t mean it’s got all the security fixes for known issues. Probably only release due to the severity of it. I personally wouldn’t use one for anything sensitive like banking. Nice they bothered to do it though
Rated 8.8/10 : https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-32893
Debian updated it three days ago: https://www.debian.org/security/2022/dsa-5219
This is good news.
Now, I'd really appreciate a patch for the Mojave users (like me) who are waiting patiently for the Apple Silicon Mac Pro.

I wish they'd update iPadOS 14.8.1 which they initially indicated they would update even after 15 was released. I hate the look/layout of 15 on iPads so I am sticking with 14.8.1.
I think it’s safe to say that, much like macOS, they’ll provide security updates for *at the minimum* two years.
But if todays 12.5.6 proves anything, it’s that if it’s severe enough, Apple will force out an update years later
Hmm, i get your point. But my iPad Air 2 has become basically unusable after updating to iOS15. Yes, you could argue it's old, but Apple still supports it with updates, but those updates made it perform so bad, you could call it planned obsolescence.
