Later this year, at the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2023, iOS 17 is anticipated to be unveiled. Apple has confirmed that June 5 will be the date of its yearly developer conference. The next iteration of the company’s software updates for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other products is anticipated to be released. The following iOS update, known as iOS 17, will be unveiled at WWDC 2023. However, it is likely to be distributed to all qualified devices following the September launch of the iPhone 15.
The newest iOS version will be available for the newest iPhone models, including the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus (Review), iPhone 14 Pro (Review), and iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s also likely that some older devices will qualify for the iOS 17 update. Later this year, Apple may, however, reduce the list of iPhones receiving the new iOS update. The iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus (Review), and iPhone X (Review) may have reached the end of their software update cycle, according to a recent MacRumors report. According to the report, Apple’s upcoming iOS 17 update won’t work with the three iPhone models unveiled in 2017.
The most recent iOS 16.4 update, which introduces several new features, has been distributed to the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X. The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus booted iOS 11 right out of the box at launch. On the other hand, iOS 11.1 was preinstalled on the iPhone X. The fact that the three iPhone models have already received five significant iOS updates does imply that they might not receive the upcoming release later this year.
If the rumors are accurate, the iPhone X will be the first model with a notch display to go the entire time since its release without receiving a new software update. The release of the device commemorated ten years since the 2007 introduction of the first iPhone.
The list of eligible iPhone models for the new iOS 17 update has received no official comment from Apple. When iOS 17 is revealed at WWDC 2023, we can anticipate confirmation of the list of compatible devices.
The upcoming iPadOS 17 update will not be available for the iPad Pro 9.7-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch, or iPad fifth-generation, according to the report.
