Impossible to say. Apple does not disclose update life-spans of devices.


Normally its around 7 years or so of iOS updates from year of release, so its likely iOS 15 is the last major iOS update it will get, but it's impossible to know for sure. It may get iOS 16 in the fall. There's no way to know for sure at this point.
