iOS 17 will be released this year
Last week, Apple officially announced WWDC 2023. From June 5 through June 9, developers and students (with a ticket) are welcome at the Apple Park in Cupertino, California.

While it first seemed that iOS 17 would not be a major update, a number of much-requested features now seem to be coming to the update. The lock screen will probably get some new features again and iOS 17 will reportedly get interactive widgets.

The new iOS update is coming to these iPhones
Earlier today it appeared that apps such as the App Store and iMessage do not have eternal life on old iPhones and iPads. Starting next month, these Apple apps will no longer be available on all devices. The same applies to OS updates: not all devices have support for the new iOS 17.
This year it is expected to end for the iPhone 8 and older, these devices will not receive an iOS 17 update. Last year, the iPhone 7 was no longer updated to iOS 16, so a logical next step is now the iPhone 8 (Plus). The iPhone X, like the iPhone 8, was launched in 2017 and runs on the A11 Bionic chip. As a result, it is quite possible that the iPhone X will no longer receive iOS 17 support.

iPadOS 17 is coming to these iPads
There will also be no support for iPadOS 17 for a number of iPads. It is not expected that the fifth generation iPad will receive a new update. The first generation iPad Pro (both the 9.7-inch and the 12.9-inch version) also has to do without iPadOS 17. The new update will come to these iPads:
