WWDC saw Apple give us our first deep dive into the world of iOS 17, and with it comes confirmation of which devices will support the new operating system. Or, more importantly, which ones won’t. It turns out the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are being left at iOS 16, almost 6 years after they first launched.
The phones will still get security updates and bug fixes, but they’ll be missing out on all the features and upgrades iOS 17 has to offer. Six years of full software support is pretty darn good for a smartphone, especially since Apple won't be abandoning the devices completely.
