Apple continues to constantly evolve its software systems. Recently, iOS 16.5 was released, the latest version that seeks to redesign and improve the efficiency of applications on iPhones and iPads. However, the worrying news for some Apple users is that older iPhone models like the 8S, 8 Plus, SE, and X will not be compatible with the next system update, iOS 17.
Some iPhone models will no longer be supported
On social networks, many people speculate that this decision by Apple seeks to boost sales of new devices, especially with the upcoming launch of the iPhone 15. The “Trade In” function in the Apple store has motivated many users to change their iPhone models.
The iOS 17 update will also affect certain models of iPads, such as the fifth generation with the A10 Fusion chip and the second generation iPad Pro in 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch sizes.
While iOS 17 will also have an impact on Apple Watches, Apple hasn’t announced if newer models will be required or if Series 1, 2, 3 and 4 smartwatches will be affected.
There is still no news for the Apple Watch
It is important to note that if your iPhone or iPad is compatible with iOS 17, you will need to have enough storage space to install the update. In case you don’t have enough space, you have the option to use iCloud to store your photos, videos and files.
With the arrival of iOS 17, the iPhone system will experience changes. The Apple brand is always innovating, and this new version will allow devices to have a smart screen mode that will display relevant information for your day to day.
In addition, iOS 17 will bring great innovations to its system, such as improvements in the use of the camera and better application performance, among other features that Apple offers through its technology.
