Though iOS 16 is going to bring lots of fancy new features and updates, making the user experience more fun, not all iPhone users are happy! Users of iPhone 7 series are slamming Apple for not bringing the iOS 16 update to the series. Yes, the iOS 16 system will not be supported on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. It can be known that the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were released in September, 2016. Other than the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, it is also expected that the iOS 16 will not be coming to iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, among others. However, that was quite expected by everyone concerned. iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus being ignored was a big surprise. After the WWDC event on June 6, iPhone 7 users took to their Twitter accounts to rage at Apple for not bringing the update to their phones.
