The next version of the mobile operating system was unveiled at WWDC 2023 in June and has been available in beta testing for a few weeks. Apple is finally preparing to introduce its new OS internationally following the PDT time zone of California after months of testing. Only available on the iPhone XS and later models, the revamped UI delivers cutting-edge enhancements including Standby Mode, Name Drop, and more.
Let’s look at the list of iOS version-supported devices, some of its most notable features, and all the details we presently know about the most recent mobile updates for Apple iPhones.
India’s release date for iOS 17
Apple hasn’t specified a specific launch time for the iOS 17 software update, but we can assume that Indian consumers will be able to download it either tonight at around 10 PM or early tomorrow morning. This is consistent with the fact that the rollout is occurring in the PDT time zone in California, the US.
iOS 17 Version worked with iPhones.
The most recent version of iOS 17, iOS 17, is compatible with iPhones with the A12 Bionic chip or a later model. The iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus will not be compatible with the update this year because they were all released in 2017. So, for the iPhone SE (2nd generation or later), iPhone XR, and the aforementioned devices, Apple will release iOS 17.
How to see if iOS 17 is available for your iPhone
