Rumors say: iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus may receive the update to iOS 17

The recent information from the MacRumors website reveals that the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus may receive the update to iOS 17 although the previous rumors have suggested the opposite.

 

An anonymous member of the MacRumors forum has shared accurate information stating that the lack of iOS 17 support for these iPhone models is “simply incorrect”.

 

According to him, the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X will receive iOS 17. The informant has already announced correct details about both iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 Pro, which implies that he might have reliable sources within Apple's development team in order to provide trustworthy information.

 

If the rumor is going to be true, it will not be the first time that Apple decides to keep its smartphones in the list of supported cell phones for the next releases of its mobile operating system.

 

There are equal facts for Apple to give up on releasing iOS 17 for the iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus. One prominent reason is that these models are already five years outdated.

 

Information about this is not officially confirmed by Apple, thereby it is vital to consider the news as a rumor before coming to conclusions.
