Hello!

Currently the iPhone 7’s last update will most likely be IOS 14. This is because the current version, IOS13, supports iPhones with the A9 processor and above meaning it will be the last version the iPhone 6s will receive. In prediction, iOS 14 (or whatever it’s called) will support iPhones with an A10 processor or above, of which the iPhone 7 has.


In conclusion the iPhone 7 is still a great phone and will last probably another 2-3 years before it starts to get slows down by Apple. However I know my iPhone 4 still works and that’s from the time of the dinosaurs meaning that iPhones last for long period of time even when Apple stops giving them the latest iOS version


Hope you understand!
