<\/a><\/p>\nWhile we know that the iOS 17 update is coming, we don\u2019t have a release date just yet. Like the new iPhone release, Apple is keeping their official iOS 17 release date quiet, but think we can whittle down a list of potential release dates based on their past habits.<\/p>\n
Apple tends to roll out new major iOS updates in September to go alongside their new iPhone series. In fact, Apple hasn\u2019t released an iOS update outside of September since 2011, so we think it\u2019s pretty safe to assume that the iOS 17 release will be in September.<\/p>\n
Here are Apple\u2019s previous iOS release dates:<\/p>\n
- \n
- iOS 16: Monday, September 12, 2022<\/li>\n
- iOS 15: Monday, September 20, 2021<\/li>\n
- iOS 14: Wednesday, September 16, 2020<\/li>\n
- iOS 13: Thursday, September 19, 2019<\/li>\n
- iOS 12: Monday, September 17, 2018<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Based on these previous release dates and the rumoured iPhone 15 launch dates, we could see the iOS 17 launched on Monday the 11th of September or Monday the 18th of September.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re eager to get your hands on the update now, there is a beta version available to download and test now ahead of the official launch.<\/p>\n
What phones support iOS 17?<\/h2>\n
Usually, iPhone models get five years of software updates so if your iPhone is under five years old you shouldn\u2019t have to worry about not getting the iOS 17 update. Here are all the iOS 17 supported devices:<\/p>\n
- \n
- iPhone 14<\/li>\n

However, not all iPhone models younger than five years old will benefit from all of the new features that iOS 17 offers. Certain iOS 17 features need newer chips or sensors to work and so will be compatible with a select few models. Here are all the new iOS 17 features and which iPhone models they will work on:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nIf you don\u2019t see your phone on the list of supported devices, then unfortunately you won\u2019t be able to upgrade to iOS 17. You\u2019ll still be able to use older iOS versions on your device though, so it\u2019s not the end of the world! Here are all the iOS 17 unsupported devices:<\/p>\n
- \n
- iPhone X<\/li>\n
- iPhone 8<\/li>\n
- iPhone 8 Plus<\/li>\n

Will my phone still get security updates and bug fixes?<\/h2>\n
Is your iPhone on the list of iOS 17 unsupported devices? Don\u2019t worry, this doesn\u2019t mean your iPhone won\u2019t work! Some of Apple\u2019s older iPhone models still get security updates and bug fixes, so they\u2019re perfectly safe to carry on using.<\/p>\n
However, there are a few iPhone models that Apple no longer produces security updates or bug fixes. Here\u2019s a list of all the models no longer receiving security or bug fixes:<\/p>\n
- \n
- iPhone 6s<\/li>\n
- iPhone 6s Plus<\/li>\n
- iPhone 5S<\/li>\n
- iPhone 5C<\/li>\n
- iPhone 5<\/li>\n
- iPhone 4S<\/li>\n
