Apple's two failed iPhones in 2025

By
Verizon  Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920V) and S6 Edge (SM-G925V) has also been receiving  a minor OTA update recently. The update will bump up the Galaxy S6 Android 5.1.1 OS to build G920VVRU4BOG7 while the Galaxy S6 Edge will move to G925VVRU4BOG7.  The update did not include the Samsung Pay and other new features like the Live broadcast but instead its just another Android security patch update.
