Following up on a previous rumor as to which iPhones iOS 17 will be compatible with, a reliable source with alleged contacts within Apple has contradicted Tuesday’s story.
The source has stated that all iPhones that support iOS 16 will indeed support iOS 17, including all devices powered by A11 chipsets (i.e. the iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus).
This counterclaim comes from the same leaker that last year accurately revealed the presence of the Dynamic Island on iPhone 14 Pro models ahead of their official launch. The source also claims to have a “man inside” Apple’s development team who occasionally reveals hardware details about upcoming iPhone models if the physical features require software development to complement them.
If the latest claim is accurate, it would not be the first time that Apple has maintained the same list of compatible devices between major iOS releases.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
