The iOS 26 Graveyard

Ah, the sweet smell of new software updates! Every year, Apple rolls out its latest and greatest, leaving some beloved devices in the dust. Grab your tissues, folks; it's time to mourn the loyal companions who won't be receiving the shiny new iOS 26.

iPhone 6s & 6s Plus

Ah, the classic duo! Around since 2015, they were the darlings of their time. “But they still work fine!” you say? Sure, if you enjoy using a flip phone with a touchscreen. Sorry, guys—your time is up!

iPhone SE
(1st Gen)

The little engine that could! A fan favorite for compact lovers. But let’s face it: it’s like trying to run a marathon in flip-flops. It’s cute, but it just can’t keep up anymore. Time to hang up those tiny shoes!

iPhone 7 & 7 Plus

Oh, the iPhone 7! The brave leader into the wireless headphone era and the butt of many “no headphone jack” jokes. It’s time to enjoy retirement in peace—probably on a beach sipping coconut water.

iPhone X

The original iPhone X! Remember all that Face ID hype? Turns out revolution has an expiration date. Now it’s just a relic from when “notch” was a funny term for a haircut. Your spotlight has officially dimmed.

iPhone XR

The colorful rebel! All about fun colors and affordability—but alas, even rainbows fade. You will not be joining the iOS 26 party, but you’ll always be remembered as “the one with too many colors.”
