Here is the list of compatible Apple devices that are going to receive iOS 14, iPadOS 14, watchOS 7, and macOS 11 Big Sur update.
Apple officially launched iOS 14, and iPadOS 14 and will land on many iPhones and iPads in the fall.
With iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, Apple brings many new functions to iPhones and iPads. In addition to home screens, picture-in-picture function, improved Siri, and many other features for the iPhone and iPad, the question arises — Which devices are the getting the new big updates?

For the iPhone 6s from 2015 and the almost equally aged iPhone SE (2016), it should be the last major update. Apple usually delivers OS updates for a period of four to five years, after which it ends. With the iPhone 6 from 2014, the end was sealed with iOS 12, for example.
