Apple announced this Friday (7), which iPhones will stop receiving updates in 2023. Models in the iPhone 8 and iPhone X line will not receive iOS 17. The same goes for models released before the iPhone 8 line, as with each release of a new operating system, some older models stop receiving updates.

As the arrival of the iPhone 15 approaches, some models are being left behind. According to Apple, distribution of iOS 17 will begin with the launch of the iPhone 15, scheduled for September 2023. Below you can see the full list of devices that will no longer be updated.

Which iPhones will no longer be updated?

• iPhone 8;
• iphone 8 plus;
• iphone x;
• iPhone SE.

iPhone 15 Pro Max will have exclusive features
and it will be Apple’s most expensive cell phone.

The four models mentioned above are smartphones that will not receive iOS 17 and will not be included in Apple’s future update lists. Other cell phones such as iPhone XS, XS Max and XR are still on the list of updated devices. It is also important to note that Versions of the iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone SE 2022 will receive iOS 17.

With the advent of new features and technologies, some smartphones are often not updated. As a rule, manufacturers like Samsung and Apple promise about 5 years of operating system updates. Therefore, if your device was released 5 years ago or it will soon be 5 years since its launch, it is important to keep an eye on it as there is no guarantee that the mobile will continue to receive updates.

After the release of iOS 16, it was the turn of the iPhone 7 to stop updating. Therefore, we can predict that the arrival of iOS 18 could end the update cycle for the latest iPhones like the iPhone 11. Also, if the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR don’t make the current list, there’s no guarantee they’ll avoid the next one. In any case, Apple must continue to update the OS of its devices for at least five years.
