In the past days, there have been reports that several older iPhone models will not receive the iOS 17 update. It has been reported that Apple will not release updates for the iPhone 8 , iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X , and these smartphones will remain on iOS 16 forever. But now there is information to the contrary. A source sharing the list of changes to be made in iOS 17 disagrees with previous rumors about the compatibility of the operating system. According to him, all iPhones upgraded to iOS 16 will also get iOS 17 .

It is stated that the new operating system will be released for all A11 Bionic supported devices, including iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. It makes sense: the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X models were released at the end of 2017 and will be 6 years old in the fall .

These devices have received 5 iOS versions (from 11 to 16), but in some cases, Apple can update their devices for 6 years instead of 5. For example, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus debuted with iOS 9 in 2015. These smartphones were last upgraded to iOS 15 in 2021.
