> It's a 2016 model, so it should remain supported until at least 2021.

According to [1], customers "may obtain service and parts from Apple or Apple service providers for 5 years after the product is no longer manufactured" -- not from when the model was first manufactured.

The 32/128 GB models were manufactured from 2017-2018, so these should be supported until 2023.

I think he means “iOS supported”.

Well seeing that the iPhone 5s from 2013 is still supported in 2019, I don’t see any reason that the SE/6S won’t get support until 2021.

That’s what reaperducer said (“it should remain supported until at least 2021”), while ken says that getting parts and service should be possible until 2023.
