Apple seems dedicated to supporting the SE for the foreseeable future with iOS upgrades. ... This came with iOS 11.x.x and I just easily upgraded it to iOS 12. ... iOS upgrades typically include security fixes, bug fixes, performance increases (at least with 12), and new features for newer phones like the X series. ... SE's will get security, bug fixes, and performance enhancements, but you can't add features that the hardware was never originally designed to support, such as split-screen display, bokeh adjustment on-the-fly in camera.  ...  "
