iPhone 13 mini

Supported

Currently receiving iOS 26 updates

Apple publishes no end-of-support date for any iPhone, so there is no committed date to show. Historically, iPhones have received updates for roughly seven years from release — an observed pattern, not a promise.

What happens when updates stop

The phone keeps working. What changes is that newly discovered vulnerabilities stop being patched, so publicly documented flaws become permanent ones on your device. The practical risk builds slowly rather than arriving on a particular day — but it only ever builds.

If you keep using an unsupported phone, the sensible mitigations are to move banking and payment apps to a supported device, avoid storing passwords on it, and keep apps themselves updated for as long as the app store still serves them.
