The new iOS 17 software, which will include a number of tweaks and some intriguing new features, is slated to debut in September. Only a few iPhone models will, however, receive the new iOS 17 update. People who still use earlier iPhone models won't be able to use iOS 17. For instance, you could not receive these updates if you have an iPhone X, an iPhone 7 from 2017, or an older model. A Standby mode, a Journal app, and considerable Message improvements are all part of the updated firmware.
There is a simple way to verify if your iPhone is compatible with iOS 17. Go to General in the Settings app, then touch About.Â
