As is customary, Apple is set to release its latest operating systems for its range of products later this year. However, true to tradition, the company will be leaving behind certain older generations of its devices.
If you’re still holding onto an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, or an iPhone X (which, by the way, was a great device), you won’t be able to update to iOS 17. In other words, your iPhone will need to have an A12 Bionic chip or a later version to support the new operating system. On the other hand, if you own an iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, iPhone SE (second generation), or a more recent model, you’ll have access to exciting features such as Live Voicemail transcripts, the StandBy display mode, and an improved autocorrect function.
Apple has introduced a range of new features to the iPad, including customizable lock screens, enhancements to the Health app, interactive widgets, and more. Unfortunately, owners of fifth-generation iPads or the first-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro will not be able to install the upcoming iPadOS 17.
