Apple WWDC 2023: iOS 17 coming! Check list of eligible iPhones; is yours on it?
Apple WWDC 2023: iPhone users are eagerly waiting for the forthcoming iOS 17 update to be announced at the WWDC 2023 tomorrow. This year, the software update for iPhones is likely to introduce a range of “nice-to-have” features. However, the question remains: which iPhones will be eligible to receive the iOS 17 update? Will yours get it, or not? Generally, Apple extends software and security updates for iPhones for a period of up to five years. This year, there is a lot of uncertainty!
Earlier MacRumors had suggested that Apple will drop the support for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X this year. All of these iPhones were launched back in 2017, which means, they have completed the five years of software support that Apple promises to provide.
However, contradicting this claim, a leak suggested that all iPhone models that support iOS 16 will get the next iOS 17 update. That means iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X may also get the iOS 17 update.
Based on these leaks, here is a list of iPhones that are expected to get iOS 17 and some over which uncertainty looms.
In anticipation of the event, numerous leaks and rumors have surfaced, providing glimpses into how iOS 17 could potentially transform your iPhone experience.
