A number of users on Twitter have posted memes in response to Apple announcing that its latest operating system, iOS 16, is only compatible with devices dating from the iPhone SE (2nd generation or later) to the latest iPhone 13 models.

The “iPhone 7” is a trending topic on Twitter today (June 8) as users call for a moment of silence for the older iPhone models that include iPhone SE (1st generation), 6s and 7 Plus as they will not be able to support the latest iOS.
