[Astuces iOS]

Best iOS version ever

Best iOS version ever

Most definitely. It was a good update for older iPhones and even older iPads and is a better version than even iOS/iPadOS 16 due to how little the features were on it

Also when it comes to security updates this time around it’s good to see that the OS 15 and 16 ones nowadays share the exact same security updates ( iPadOS 17 will receive more security updates but not as much as iOS/iPadOS 18.7 onwards)

OS 15 was the last all 2GB of RAM Update for all 2GB iDevices. From the 6S, the Air 2 to the Mini 4 and the last iPod Touch iOS/iPadOS 15 is the best

When do we think support for iOS 15 will end?

Haha 6S keeps on 6S ing. 6S 4 ever! 😎

iPod touch 7th gen keeps clinging to life.

I wonder how many beta testers they have these days for iOS 15?

 

[winxmac]

iOS 12.0 - 17 September 2018
iOS 12.5.7 - 23 January 2023

iOS 15.0 - 20 September 2021
iOS 15.8.5 - 15 September 2025

It's hard to believe that OG SE still gets updates. 😊

When do we think support for iOS 15 will end?

Considering WhatsApp was only released for iPadOS 15 and later on May 2025 and the native Instagram app for iPadOS 15 and later was (finally a thing) released on September 2025 I definitely think support will last even longer than usual especially since they are two core apps

Also WhatsApp for iOS 12 devices ended in May last year as well ( but then iOS 12 hasn’t had an update in a long long time anyway) so that also adds somewhat to longer iOS/iPadOS 15 support as well😊
