IOS software releases have always been an important part of iPhones. Apple has always made sure that every year users would get iOS releases that would always be on point with major features and improvements updates. IOS major update is usually released in September alongside the new iPhone series model. The same goes for this year as well. Apple is planning on releasing iOS 17. The next major update in iOS to the users. But the release date is still not confirmed nor there are any updates regarding iOS 17. However, in this article, we will see iOS 17 release date in India and also talk about how to download it on your iPhone.
Whenever a new iOS major update is in talks, there are some questions that occur in users’ minds. When exactly will iOS 17 be released? Which iPhones will be able to run it? And what new features can we expect to see? All these are pretty basic questions to ask, and we are here to provide you with all the answers. Let us first take a look at iOS 17 release date in India, keeping in mind all the known sources, leaks, and rumors.
iOS 17 release date in India
iOS 17 talks are everyone and it is normal for users to ask for a release date. Apple has not officially announced the release date of iOS 17 yet, but we can make a wild guess based on its previous patterns of iOS releases.
Major iOS updates usually release in the month of September and iOS 17 is no different. For comparison, iOS 16 was released on September 16, 2022, while iOS 15 was released on September 12, 2021. So, we can safely predict that iOS 17 will be released maybe in midSeptember 2023, most likely a few days after the iPhone 15 launch event. In India also the release date would be the same, the only difference will be the time of the release date due to the different time zone. But the users of India surely expect iOS 17 to be released in mid September 2023.
Before the release of iOS 17, Apple will launch it during the annual WWDC event which will be held in the month of June 2023. This is the platform where Apple launches new iOS updates and rolls out the developer’s beta of the update to try and test out new features and look out for bugs and issues. IOS 17 developers beta will release soon after the WWDC event for the developers following the public beta a few weeks later.
There is no official word from Apple regarding the release date of iOS 17. The above given information is just a prediction based on previous releases. We will update you regarding iOS 17 release date as soon as Apple makes an official announcement about it.
iOS 17 compatibility
When iOS 17 will be released the main concern of the users occurs, whether or not their device is compatible with iOS 17 update. Since there is no official news from Apple regarding iOS 17 update, all we can do is simply predict based on the assumptions on its previous compatibility list.
For example, iOS 16 supported all iPhones from the iPhone SE (2016) and later, while iOS 15 supported all iPhones from the iPhone 6s and later. This means that Apple usually drops support for one or two older models every year.
Based on this pattern we can expect that iOS 17 will support all iPhones from the iPhone XS and later. This means that the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus may not be able to run iOS 17.
We will have to wait until WWDC in June to find out what Apple has in store for us with iOS 17. Until then, stay tuned for more updates and rumors about Apple’s next big update.
