It is worth noting that not all iPhones are bought on day 1. 6s was discontinued September 12, 2018 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_6S) and customers may have bought these phones later.

Looks like they were still being manufactured and sold in some regions until at least August 2019.

The non-S iPhone 6 was discontinued at the same time, and did not even get iOS 13 one year later.

The 6S has 2GB of RAM versus the 1GB of the 6, probably the principle differentiator here as otherwise the specs look pretty comparable (6S also has 2 more GPU cores and a faster CPU clock rate which may be other contributing factors).

That's sad, but it's at least getting security updates for iOS 12, and quite frequently.
