Facebook Hit by Apple’s Crackdown on Messaging Feature

I've also switched, after my 1 year old Samsung S8 brick phone dropped to the floor one time too often. I'm not only enjoying the privacy, but also the classic, non-phablet form factor of a brand new iPhone 6s in 2019 and hope it will last me longer. Compared to Samsung's, my typing speed is up, but it's true that autocomplete suggestions are useless.

Have been running my 6s since 2015 - alas, come iOS 13 we’ll likely have to upgrade the hardware or remain with unlatched critical known vulns.

Is it given that 6s won't receive iOS 13? I bought mine because it's the only one still having an audio jack for my car stereo, and the 7 and 8 add nothing for me, except the price. Though maybe it's telling Apple themselves don't sell the 6s anymore.

iOS 13 drops support for iPhones with 1GB of RAM. 5s and 6/6+ are out. The 6S/6S+, the SE, and above are supported.

iOS 13 will be supported on the 6s, just not on the 6/6 Plus (and below).
