Apple to drop iOS 13 support in iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and the sky is the limit from there

Apple introduced its much awaited iOS 13 during Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose on Monday. The latest update to the operating system will introduce many changes to the UI and it will also boost the performance of all Apple devices. There is some bad news for all those who own older iPhones like iPhone 5S and iPhone 6. While all owners of higher devices will enjoy iPhone support through iOS 13, older iPhone owners will not get this new user experience.

Another major change that has been announced at WWDC yesterday is that iPads will get a separate operating system different from iOS. All tablets in the stable of Apple will now run on iPadOS.

Whenever there is any major update in the operating system of Apple, there is usually concern shown by older device owners. Will the new update be compatible with their old devices? As far as iOS 13 is concerned, it provides support to most of the smartphones in the family. Many old iPhone owners will be able to update their operating system to enjoy the new iOS 13.

However, unlike iOS 12 that was launched last year, iOS 13 is only meant to be used in higher iPhones. In a press release after the event, Apple announced that will only be extended to iPhone 6S and all phones after it. If your smartphone is higher than iPhone 6S, you are lucky as it will get iOS 13 support.

One smartphone that has been surprisingly omitted from the list of supported phones is the iPhone 6S that was launched in 2014.  If this is the case with 5 year old smartphone iPhone 6, it is only natural for older smartphones like iPhone 5S to miss the train. Many fans are disappointed with this announcement as iOS 12 extended support to iPhones that were up to 5 years old. This period has been reduced to just 4 years with the new iOS 13.

For the owners of iPads, the story is not much different. The new operating system for iPads, called iPadOS, is actually based on iOS 13 and so it will extend support only to iPads starting from iPad Air 2 and higher. As far as Mini iPad series is concerned, it will only be iPad Mini 4 and newer models that will find support for the latest operating system. Thankfully, iPad 2017 and iPad 2018 will be able to run on the new operating system.

What surprises many is the fact that iOS 13 will support iPad Mini 4 even though it has A8 processor fitted inside. Owners of iPhone 6 are complaining as their smartphones will not be able to enjoy the user experience of the new update even though these phones are also fitted with the same A8 processor. Luckily, owners of small 4 inch devices like iPhone SE and iPod Touch will be able to run on the latest iOS 13.

Among other things, users of iOS 13 will find their apps opening twice as fast as they did in iOS 12. Downloads of apps will also take 50% less time. Users will also enjoy the new Dark mode as well as exciting photo editing tools.

Apple’s iPhones selling in large numbers in China again

Image
In December 2018, Apple CEO Tim Cook was a worried man because of falling sales of iPhones in China, one of the most important markets for the company. In fact, he wrote a letter to the investors to be prepared for lower sales in the holiday quarter because of dropping iPhone sales in the Chinese market. It was the first time since 2002 that Apple CEO had to issue a warning to its stakeholders. Within a year, situation has reversed and sales of iPhones are increasing in China. In fact, 18% more iPhones were sold in China in December 2019 than in December 2018. This tremendous iPhone support from Chinese people has investors smiling again. This performance of iPhones is even better than what was predicted by WSJ. In December 2019, Apple shipped half a million iPhones more than in December 2018. This jump in the sales of iPhones in China was reflected in the increasing stock prices of Apple on the stock market. There can be no two opinions about the fact that China is a crucial...
