Headline is slightly misleading. It implies that the update is only available on the 6s, when in reality it's available for:

> iPhone 6s (all models), iPhone 7 (all models), iPhone SE (1st generation), iPad Air 2, iPad mini (4th generation), and iPod touch (7th generation)

That's a lot of devices, more so than "10-year old iPhone 6s" implies.

I won't be upgrading my iPhone 7 and 4th gen iPad mini, because I don't want to take the chance that the update needs an update to Dopamine to be jailbroken. Fortunately they're secondary devices for me.

I think it’s just highlighting the oldest device that got the update, not a huge deal

It was a huge enough deal that the title of this post got changed.

That’s not a high bar, and you’re making some assumptions there, and even if it was entirely that I would still argue the old title was fine. Not misleading, just a highlight.

iPad Air 2 was released in October 2014 so the iPhone 6s is not even the oldest device in the article.

Far less people care or remember about the ipad release dates compared to phone release dates, so it’s a reasonable editorial choice.
