Apple has finally released iOS 17 to the public with several new features and changes including NameDrop, StandBy Mode, Live Voicemail, new Mental Health features, Offline Maps, AirTag sharing, and more.
However, iOS 17 is not supported on the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X, which were released in 2017 with the A11 Bionic Chip. The iPhone X was the first device with an all-screen device by Apple and it played a great role in paving the way for recent iPhone releases. These devices were launched with iOS 11 and were supported through iOS 16, which is an impressive six years of consecutive software support.
Here are the devices supported by iOS 17:
iOS 17 is supported on the devices listed below:
- iPhone 15

It is hard to believe that the iPhone 8 and the legendary iPhone X are not going to support iOS 17, but it’s worth noting that these devices will continue to receive security updates.
If you want to experience the new features of iOS 17, we would recommend you to upgrade to a newer iPhone model. However, do note that not all features are available on all iPhone models due to hardware limitations.
