    As per the title, anybody know what OS Release version is required to run the new COVID tracker app?

    I am stuck with 12.4.7 on a 6 - plus and it will not load on this version.
    I guess I will have to replace phone to get the app functioning.

    Thanks

    The app will only be functional on iPhones that support iOS 13.5 and higher, or on Android phones running 6.0 or higher.

    Can earlier processors not support OS 13 or this an Apple marketing ploy to push phones into obsolescence?
    Don’t suppose anyone knows except Apple themselves.

    IPhone 6 to 6s had a significant speed increase which is why the 6s is still supported even with upcoming IOS14. Apple actually supports older hardware with updates longer than any other manufacturer

    Surely someone cannot complain that their iPhone 4, 5 or 6 is no longer supported by new OS updates!! The iPhone 6 was released in 2014!!

    Okay, it was on sale up to reasonably recently, but purchasers of such an old phone need to be aware of the consequences of doing so beforehand.
