iOS 17 update: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X to MISS out!

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is expected to take place in June, 2023. The release date for iOS 17 update may well be at that time. iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10, among others are likely to be revealed at the event. Though there is still some time to go, people are already excited about the new features. So, if you are thinking about what the iOS 17 update will bring to your iPhones, read on. However, before we tell you what the iOS 17 update is likely to bring, it can be known that not all the Apple iPhone models will get it.

Though there is no official information available regarding the list of iPhone models that will get the iOS 17 update, it is being said that iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X may not get it. While, the users of iPhone models launched after 2017 will be able to enjoy the new features.

According to a report by Tom's Guide, "Apple tends to keep iPhones around for about five years before dropping them off the list. For iOS 17, that would mean the models released in 2017 are in danger of not being included among this year's supported devices."

"The iPhone 7 got cut off at iOS 15 and it was the last handset on the chopping block. The iPhone 8, released in 2017, was the oldest phone to still be able to run iOS 16," the report stated.
