Apple yesterday announced iOS 17 with several notable features including StandBy mode, NameDrop and Live Voicemail. As is the case with new iOS releases, several older iPhone models are not supported, and this year it’s the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus models.
Those wishing to try iOS 17 will need an iPhone XS series or newer to be compatible with Apple’s requirements. The second and third generation iPhone SE models are still supported, so it seems that the bottleneck for the iPhone X and 8 series is the older A11 Bionic chipset.
Moving on to iPadOS 17, we can see that Apple is dropping support for its 1st generation iPad Pro models as well as the 5th generation iPad launched in 2017.
