A reliable insider initially predicted that iOS 17 would drop support for iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, and some iPad models, but a reputable leaker countered the claim, stating that it is "simply incorrect." According to the leaker, all iPhones that currently support iOS 16 will also support iOS 17, including devices with A11 chipsets such as the iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus.


Earlier this week, another source claimed that iOS 17 would drop support for the iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, and some iPad models. However, the reputable leaker disputed this claim and stated that it was false. The leaker also mentioned that all iPhones that currently support iOS 16 will continue to be supported by iOS 17.


In summary, it is unclear which devices will be supported by iOS 17, but the reputable leaker asserts that the iPhone X, iPhone 8/8 Plus, and other A11-equipped devices will be compatible.



An insider previously claimed that iOS 17 would no longer support iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X, while iPadOS 17 would drop support for some iPad models. However, a reliable leaker disputed this claim, stating that all iPhones currently supporting iOS 16, including A11-powered devices like iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus, would be compatible with iOS 17. This update has created confusion about which devices iOS 17 will support.


If the recent speculation by an anonymous forum tipster isn't confirmed by another source in the next two months, we will have to wait until June 5 to find out if it's accurate. This is when Apple is anticipated to reveal iOS 17 at the WWDC event. The uncertainty surrounding the new software release has left many people eager for more information.
