Initially, these iPhone models will be updated by September 2022. A few weeks before the release of iOS 16, Apple will release the final iOS 15 update that these five iPhone models will receive. Then, These iPhones will stop receiving support in late August or early September.

However, we must take one thing into account. Apple recently released security updates for older iPhonesNot so long ago, we saw an iOS 12 update for older iPhones. For this reason, it should not be ignored that Apple will release an iOS 15 update in the future, which will fix some security issues for the remaining five iPhone models in this update.
