Not all iPhone users will be able to download Apple’s latest software in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re an iPhone owner, you’re likely excited about all the changes coming with iOS 17. Apple previewed the latest software update at its WWDC event Monday. It’ll be available to download this fall, but not all iPhone users will have access. As with all of the major Apple software updates, several iPhones are getting left behind, including the iPhone X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re not sure which iPhone you’ve got, a quick check in your settings can show you. Open your Settings app and tap General > About. Next to Model Name, you’ll see which iPhone you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll tell you how to find out whether your iPhone will be compatible with iOS 17. If you’d like to try out the iOS 17 beta, the public beta will be available in July. Want to know more about iOS 17? Apple will turn your photos into stickers with Messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
