As is normal for this sort of thing, The release of iOS 10 leaves a few iOS devices on the scrap heap as far as compatibility goes. That doesn’t mean your iPhone 4S doesn’t work perfectly fine, it’s just not compatible with the upcoming latest and greatest mobile operating system from Apple.
iOS 10 is compatible with the following devices…
iPhone
- iPhone 6s
- iPhone 6s Plus
- iPhone 6
- iPhone 6 Plus
- iPhone SE
- iPhone 5s
- iPhone 5c
- iPhone 5
iPad
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch
- iPad Pro 9.7-inch
- iPad Air 2
- iPad Air
- iPad 4th generation
- iPad mini 4
- iPad mini 3
- iPad mini 2
iPod Touch
- iPod touch 6th generation
Yeah, I was pretty bummed out that my iPad 3 was left behind this go-round. But, then I remembered I had just purchased a 12.9-inch iPad Pro. (Did I say that out loud?)
All-in-all, that’s still pretty decent support for older devices. Especially when you compare it to the world of Android, where some devices never get an OS update.
What about you? Bummed because your iPhone 4S isn’t going to cut it this update cycle? Will you buy a new iPhone, or hang in there with iOS 9? Tell us about it in the Comments section below…
