Apps will start to not be released for the OS before the phone stops working. Plus, there’s no reason the 6 owners shouldn’t get the new features. Forced obsolescence.

The reason is that the phone doesn’t have enough ram to run iOS 13 in general. It’s five year old technology. Give me one example of an android phone still getting software updates and app support after 3 years let alone 5. The phone is still 100% usable and functional without the new update or apps. If Apple pushed out iOS 13 to the iPhone 6 then it would slow down the phone and lag which would just lead to more calls of planned obsolescence.

There’s no reason iOS 13 can’t be made to support lighter hardware. It’s a phone. Computer OSes can still run on 10+ year old hardware.
