At the time of the release of iOS 17, these smartphones will be six years old. Likewise, iPadOS 17 will exclude some older devices using the A11 Bionic SoC or older.
This move is not unexpected, as Apple regularly drops support for older devices as new versions of their operating systems are released. However, the exclusion of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, which is still very popular among people, as well as the iPhone X, can provoke a greater “emotional” reaction.
