At the WWDC 2023 conference, Apple introduced iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, macOS Sonoma and explained which devices will receive these operating systems. Let’s start with iOS 17.

With this version of the mobile operating system, support for the old iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus models ends. They won’t be able to get iOS 17. They won’t get the iPhone X either. All other iPhone versions released later (that is, starting with the second-generation iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, and iPhone SE) are compatible with the new operating system.

As for iPadOS 17, this operating system is not compatible with the 5th generation iPad and the first generation iPad Pro with a 12.9-inch screen. And here is the list of supported models:

• iPad 6 generation and later;
• iPad mini 5th generation and later;
• iPad Air 3rd generation and later;
• 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2nd generation and later;
• 10.5-inch iPad Pro;
• 11-inch iPad Pro first generation and later.

It’s easy with Apple’s smartwatch: all devices that support watchOS 9 (i.e. starting with Apple Watch Series 4) also support watchOS 10.

As for macOS Sonoma, the following Apple computers are compatible with it:

• iMac 2019 and later;
• Mac Pro 2019 and later;
• iMac Pro 2017;
• Mac Studio from 2022;
• MacBook Air 2018 and later;
• Mac mini 2018 and later;
• MacBook Pro 2018 and later.
