This means any phones introduced in 2016 or earlier, including the iPhone 6S, iPhone SE and iPhone 7, won't be getting Apple software updates anymore. It's not an unexpected move, given that the company regularly retires software support on older devices.
Iphone 6 plus still can work.
To be clear, if you have an older device, it and all your apps should continue to work for now even without the update with all the shiny new features.
But since you won't be getting new iOS updates, that could leave your device vulnerable to hacks and malware because software updates also often include patches for bugs.
Apple may continue to offer some security updates to these older devices, as it's done with iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 devices.
