Every year, a new generation of iPhones hits the market, either boasting a new look, even more powerful specifications, and a more stable and complete operating system. In 2023, we are waiting for the iPhone 15 that should debut iOS 17, new version of Apple’s system that should reach other older iPhones, but not all. Is your iPhone on the list of recipients?
Apple has finally confirmed which models are eligible to receive the iOS 17 update. All models launched from 2018 will receive the new system. In other words, any model superior to the iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max must be covered with the new version of Apple’s operating system.
Which iPhones Will Stop Updating in 2023?
In 2022 Apple announced iOS 16 and, as you can imagine, not all models were on the list to receive the update. The company disclosed that the models that have the processors A9 e A10 unfortunately they would not be updated. As anticipated by Oficina da Net, these were the models that were not updated in 2022:
Confirming what Oficina da Net had already disclosed in January of this year, the models that will no longer receive the update in 2023 are all those equipped with the processador A11 Bionic. Are they:
Will the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X not receive iOS 17?
Unfortunately, as stated above, the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X will be the next to be dropped by Apple. This means that they should not be included with iOS 17. As time goes by, it is natural that other models will also no longer receive support from the company.
Do I need to change iPhone?
If your iPhone is on Apple’s future list to no longer receive updates, you may wonder if it’s necessary to rush out and buy another device. In a nutshell, when an iPhone stops updating, it just won’t receive new features, security optimizations and so on, but should continue to function normally until further notice.
This means that you don’t have to worry regarding buying a new device, simply because it will no longer receive updates. For a while, it should continue to work. But of course, as time goes by, some applications will no longer be updated, such as WhatsApp, for example, and your iPhone will only serve as a paperweight.
If you’re already thinking regarding getting a new iPhone, give preference to newer models, which must still have a long road of updates ahead. The iPhone 11, for example, is seen as one of the best investments today, but it’s good to remember that following the iPhone X, the iPhone 11 should be the next to be forgotten by Apple.
The most current models, from the iPhone 12, should last a long time. If you find it on offers, they’re a great deal. Launched in October 2020, the iPhone 12 arrived costing BRL 8 thousand, but today, our system has already found offers for BRL 3,500. So it’s good to keep an eye out!
