Come September, Apple will be dropping the first-gen iPhone SE, the iPhone 6s, and even the iPhone 7 from software support this coming fall. Luckily, Chris Evans has decided to upgrade to a more modern iPhone 13.

Why Apple Drops Support for Older iPhone Models
9to5Mac notes that due to the purchase habits of the actor, he might not be phased when he upgrades to the iPhone 13 despite the iPhone 14 coming out soon. The actor posted on Instagram with the same description as his post on Twitter.
A lot of buyers are waiting for the iPhone 14 and this has influenced their decision to hold off on purchasing the iPhone 13 in order to wait for the newest Apple device. Since Apple constantly comes out with new iPhones, there's really no telling when the company will stop with new models.
In order to make room for the newer models, older models usually become obsolete so that Apple can focus its resources on upgrading the software of the new ones. This is why most of the older models stop getting operating system updates after a certain period of time.
