Are you excited about the new iOS 17 but have a slightly older phone? Then it may be the case that you won’t receive the update.
Apple is known for supporting older models for a long time, but now there is a group that will miss out. The models that won’t receive iOS 17 are the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X, all of which were introduced in 2017.
So, you must have an iPhone SE (2nd generation) or an iPhone XS or newer. iOS 17 has been released to developers now, will be released as a public beta in July, and will be available to everyone in the fall.
