Apple reveals important iPhone upgrade blow

At the WWDC 2019 event that just concluded, one of the star attractions was the announcement of iOS 13 and this update is one of the most exciting updates in recent memory. After the successful release of iOS 12.3.1, Apple has been on a roll with virtually bug-free iOS launches and with iOS 13 due later on this year, Apple has made it a sort of scapegoat with its latest announcement.

The iPhone 11 series and its less appealing camera bump will debut alongside iOS 13 and with it, Apple has made an announcement a lot of iPhone users may not want to hear. In a first, Apple has issued a warning that states iOS 13 will not be supported on not just one but two generations of iPhone handsets. The casualties this year will be the iPhone 5S, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. This move may be considered as planned obsolescence as a total of 220 million iPhone 6 devices will be exempt for the update.
