The profound changes we expect from Apple’s iOS 17, out in September, could coincide with the launch of the new iPhone 15; making us alert to which phone models will be compatible, or whether it’s time to think about changing the gadget.

These are the phone models that will officially receive iOS 17, so if you have one of those or are tempted to refresh your equipment, it’s a good idea to keep it in mind:

Users with older mobile phones can continue to use it without any problems, they just cannot install the new updates. This is not a problem for these relatively new mobile phones, although Apple no longer offers models that are lower than the iPhone 11 on its website.

If you want to get a high-end iPhone with enhanced features, it’s better to invest a little more in one of Apple’s latest models with the best technology, such as the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, or stick with the basic versions from iPhone 13 and iPhone 14.

To this we must logically add the announced iPhone 15, which, according to forecasts, although quite similar to the iPhone 14, may vary by offer thinner frames and ones rounded back edges which could facilitate the grip without a lid, according to 20 minutes.

The recommended thing is do not buy a model after five years from its launch. This is because Apple usually stops supporting its mobile devices after that period.

iOS 17 will update apps like Phone, FaceTime and Messages so users can express themselves like never before, share both content and contact information in new ways, and see information at a glance with the new Standby feature. iOS 17 also adds Diary, an app that helps users reflect, practice gratitude and focus on their well-being, the blog on the Apple site explains.
