IOS 16

iOS 16 is the sixteenth major release of the iOS mobile operating system that is reportedly in development at Apple to succeed iOS 15. It is expected to be announced on June 6 at the 2022 Worldwide Developers Conference and released sometime later in 2022.

Supported devices
Like had been predicted (incorrectly) for iOS 15 in the previous year, Apple is reported to be limiting compatibility to devices using the Apple A10 "Fusion" processor or later, eliminating support for the following models:
 * iPhone 6 S / 6 S Plus
 * iPhone SE (1st generation)

However, with the discontinuation of the A10-based 7th-generation iPod touch, Apple is also speculated to be discontinuing support for A10-based models, including:
 * iPhone 7 (not the 7 Plus)
 * iPod touch (7th generation)
