Apple's next generation of iPhone software is now official, and for those hoping to get the iOS 14 update when it arrives later this year, there's good news. Apple has confirmed that iOS 14 will be available on iPhone 6S and later, which means that every phone that received iOS 13 in 2019 will receive the new update in 2020. In the past, we've seen Apple ditch the oldest compatible device in the previous generation of software when launching the next generation, but with iOS 14 it offers an even longer life for older iPhones. The iPhone 6S (and 6S Plus) launched in September 2015, meaning this five-year-old phone will still be supported when iOS 14 arrives in "fall" this year. The iOS 14 release date is likely to be September 2020, with a final confirmation of its exact date should be announced when the iPhone 12 launches.
