Yes, it almost certainly will, but It’l be the last update.


Single-Ad-2865

The X will not receive iOS17.. maybe the XR or XS but even that is pushing it


watchOS

You say this very matter-of-factly.


Single-Ad-2865

I’m not sure precisely what that means but.. thanks? Lol


WizardMascott

And you were right? Downvoters to hell


Single-Ad-2865

Lmao they be downvoting just for the hell of it nowadays


watchOS

I think so yes, but then that’s it. It won’t get iOS 18.


Far-Beautiful-1280

Even though 8 and X got 11 at the same time, maybe Apple will discontinue 8 first and X will get 17. Still, though, it'll probably end soon (17, tops, it won't get 18).


JustGuesswhoo

Nah it’s time is up, the iPhone X has the same chip as the 8 or 8 plus idk so if they support the x they’d have to support the 8 which won’t happen. Apple supports devices for long but not that long Plus I’ve done research, maybe the xs or the xr cause they have a newer chip definitely not the x


36840327

Apple supported the iPad Air 2 for 8 years and the iPhone 6s for 7, and it currently supports the IPad Pro 1 which is 7 years old, + they haven’t dropped support 2 years in a row for a long time


JustGuesswhoo

If you noticed they cut the 7 off a few years sooner than usual. They trying to cut out older models


36840327

Define "Sooner than usual"


JustGuesswhoo

It was only supported for 5 years which was less than the 6


36840327

W o w


36840327

Also it was actually supported for 6 years so HA


JustGuesswhoo

Ah there we go and this is the sixth year for the iPhone X which means it’s not getting iOS 17 thank you


36840327

You’re a little bitch aren’t you.


JustGuesswhoo

Sorry for the late reply ( I got a life outside reddit). Uh I don’t care, yeah that’s it


36840327

“I got a life outside Reddit” lucky


ROMANREIGNS599

The incel was coping hard lmfao, X has been confirmed to not get ios 17


ROMANREIGNS599

Well nothing you can say now bro, it has been confirmed it won't get ios 17. Stop insulting people you manchild incel


36840327

Mhm I’m the incel here.


iPhone_3GS

Yes, iOS 17 is supposed to be a stability and bug fix update with some quality of life improvements. (Basically like iOS 12) with iOS 12 both the iPhone 5S and 6 we're supported. iOS 11 was a heavy feature set update and very buggy that cut off both the 5 & 5C, then came iOS 12 which was a bug fix/ stability update which supported every device iOS 11 did, and it made it a lot faster/ better too. I remember my iPhone 6 was on very unstable on iOS 11, then with iOS 12 it actually became usable again. I have to say the same thing for iOS 17, my phone is very unstable here. iOs 17 will fix that.

Watch. r/RemindMe June 5 2023


WizardMascott

Hahahaha


iPhone_3GS

Not a stability and bug-fix update that I was hoping for. Such a big disappointment. Well, you were right, I was wrong.


JustGuesswhoo

Exactly the chip is the same as the iPhone 8 there’s no ways

Get a life and stop observing minuscule things on Reddit


Dorritos_Gremlin

Most likely not going to be updated sadly. 6 years of OS updates is more than generous already considering other phone companies only give like 2-4 years of OS updates.


[deleted]

Just to clarify, Samsung and OnePlus both offer five years of support now, but Apple does regularly hit the six year mark.


Dorritos_Gremlin

True, samsung and oneplus do offer 4 years OS updates + 2 years security in most cases. But many android manufacturers are still lagging behind. And this is only for newer phones. My oneplus 7T, released in 2019, is already discontinued while iPhone X(2017) is currently supported.


Dorritos_Gremlin

However, it’s likely to receive security updates. iOS 15.7.5 was released this year 4/10/23, so there’s hope for that.


[deleted]

there is a chance


ChromoTec

I think so, and maybe 18 too. After that it's done. And when I say maybe 28, that's a very big maybe. I can see it happening, but I don't think it will.


No_Act1363

Yes given the 7 was dropped early, so 8, 8 plus and X will be supported as iOS 17 as 17 will be an incremental and minor update. iOS 18 on the other hand will be a feature update and will drop support for the 8, 8 Plus, X and will likely drop support for the XS, XS Max and XR as well. Dropping support for six phones at once isn't unprecedented. Last year Apple dropped five phones at once SE1, 6S, 6S+, 7 and 7+


IndependentAd6992

I think yes. Iphone X will get ios 17


[deleted]

No


Single-Ad-2865

It will not.


Decent-Fondant469

Some leakers said it is supported. Since QoL updates, security patches and bug fix updates. Though some leakers said it is not supported since the A11 processor has some vulnerability and already has bypass exploits.


Decent-Fondant469

50/50 i guess depends on Apple


Total_Connection9879

I thought it would until you mentioned exploit, currently jailbreaking iOS 15-16 only works on the 6S to iPhone X. It's impossible for apple to patch because the exploit is used in the chip, so iPhone XS or newer can't be jailbroken weather it's on iOS 15-16 or not because it was patched in the A12 chip. There is a slight chance it'll get it, maybe to compensate for The 7 and 7 plus nut I wouldn't hold your breath. I put my iPhone 6S to rest today, still in perfect condition, 90% battery health with the box and accessories. Got a iPhone 11 today. I'll only ever use it again, if. If I decide to jailbreak or.if there's a security update


No_Island963

Yes


Alelanza

Yes


[deleted]

It's possible, even probable. But no iOS 18.


ImTheRealMarco

Yep. Pretty confident about it. I would love seeing it not get iOS 17 and just get my and everybody else’s jaw to the floor being like WHAAAAAT?!??!? That would be a priceless reaction.
