Apple moved the iPhone X and the 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro from its vintage list to the obsolete list, ending hardware service and the ability to order parts for both; the iPhone X remains on iOS 16 (no iOS 17) and the 2018 MacBook Pro is limited to macOS Sequoia (macOS 15.7.7).
Rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro will revert to an aluminum frame with a glass back, ending the use of stainless steel or titanium since the iPhone X, potentially leading to a lighter and more affordable high-end model, with official details expected in September.
Experts are advising owners of Apple's iPhone X and iPhone 8 to upgrade or sell their devices before September, as the upcoming iOS 17 update will not be supported by these models, potentially reducing their trade-in values by up to 50 percent. Additionally, without the update, these devices will not receive security updates, leaving them vulnerable to potential attacks. The iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR will be the oldest devices to support iOS 17, which will introduce new features such as improved security, design-driven contact cards, a 'StandBy' mode, and enhanced autocorrect and dictation capabilities.
Apple's upcoming iOS 17 won't support iPhone 8 and iPhone X, causing a predicted 40% drop in their value, as seen with previous iPhone models. iPhone 8 and iPhone X owners are advised to trade in their phones as soon as possible to avoid losing value closer to the launch of iOS 17. These phones were introduced six years ago and lack features such as Night Mode.
A reputable leaker with alleged contacts within Apple has claimed that iOS 17 will be compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 16, including the iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus, contradicting a previous rumor. The iPhone X and iPhone 8/8 Plus are the only iPhones powered by the A11 chip, which is vulnerable to a bootrom jailbreaking exploit that Apple is unable to patch. The announcement of iOS 17 is expected to be made at WWDC on June 5.
Apple has released a list of devices that will support the upcoming iOS 17 system, which includes the iPhone SE (2nd Gen or later), iPhone XR, and all models from iPhone Xs to iPhone 14. However, the iPhone 8 and iPhone X will not be compatible with the new system, which may come as a major upset to many users. Apple is also set to reveal details about the MR headset at the 2023 WWDC developer conference.
