Incidentally, if your iPhone does qualify for Apple's next big update, it'll likely download iOS 17 automatically. With Apple's 2017 iPhones absent from the final list, this means the company will have dropped support for almost all devices running on its A11 Bionic chip.Īpple routinely drops support for older devices with every new edition of iOS and iPadOS – the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 and iPad Air 2 were among the models left behind by iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, for instance – and both the iPhone X and iPhone 8 are now five years old, which is usually grounds for the chopping block. One MacRumors source “with a proven track record,” had stated (ahead of WWDC) that iOS 17 would drop support for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, and the sad fact is that cut-off appears to have held firm, now that the release is official. Initial concerns appear to have been realised, as the likes of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X (above) don't make the cut for iOS 17 support (Image credit: Future)Īpple announced the iOS 17 release after the Apple September event, placing it at Monday, September 18.
