As the fall season approaches, it brings with it the promise of iOS 17, Apple’s latest operating system, set to add a host of fresh, fun, and functional features to your iPhone. These updates range from personalized contact cards and live voicemail services to a rainbow of delightful stickers. However, not all devices currently operating on iOS 16 will be able to welcome these new offerings. In a recent announcement at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple specified that iOS 17 will only extend support to iPhone models XS and newer.

And The Notch (which some people call the Tab). And the glass back.
