Will you be able to enjoy the upcoming iOS 17 update? If you own one of the latest iPhones, the question does not arise. But if your phone starts to date, you will no longer enjoy the benefits of the latest version of Apple's operating systems. This is the case of the iPhone 8 and X, which will be left on the sidelines.
If the iPhone 8 was already the last device to enjoy iOS 16, owners of the X, released in 2017, may be surprised to be already "out of the game" only 6 years after its release. Indeed, only iPhones from iPhone XS / XS Max / XR (2018) will be able to switch to iOS 17. Additional information, no iPod, whose sales have stopped for more than a year, will also be able to benefit.
"The iPhone more personal and intuitive"
The iOS 17 update is expected to be officially available next fall, after the launch of the new iPhones. A beta version will be open to the general public this summer by registering on the dedicated website. It will first be necessary to make a backup of your device to recover your contents in case of bug.
But what's the point of installing iOS 17? "We've focused on the features that come with us every day to make iPhone more personal and intuitive," Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president, said in a statement. The Apple brand promises "major updates for communication apps, simplified sharing with AirDrop and smarter text input".

In particular, it will be possible to read or listen live to the content of a voice message, in order to decide whether or not you want to respond to your interlocutor, instead of having to listen to your answering machine afterwards. Two new apps will also be available: Journal, "an app that allows users to express their gratitude," and StandBy, "a new way to visualize certain information when the iPhone is sitting down and charging."
