The latest iOS 17 update won’t be installed on every iPhone. You’ll require an iPhone model that is at least as recent as the 2018 releases of the iPhone XR or XS.

The iPhone 11, iPhone SE (second generation and up), iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14 will all support iOS 17, in addition to the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max. The new iPhone 15 will ship with iOS 17 already installed; it is presently up for preorder and will hit shops on September 22.

Next, backup your iPhone before installing iOS 17

It can be exciting to explore all of iOS 17’s new features, but you should exercise some fundamental caution before updating to the new operating system. You should back up your iPhone before updating to ensure the security of all of your personal and phone data. If you decide that iOS 17 is not the correct choice for you, you will also have the option of going back to iOS 16.

If your iPhone is powered on and connected to Wi-Fi, it will routinely back up your data with the default settings enabled. To manually backup your device, click on Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup and then hit Back Up Now if the automatic backup feature is deactivated.

On a Mac computer, you can also back up your iPhone using Finder. Create a backup of your iPhone by connecting it to your computer, launching Finder, and choosing your device. Apple also advises archiving your backup to prevent other backups from overwriting it.

Before installing iOS 17, follow these three steps after backing up your iPhone

It helps to take a few steps in prepare to get everything ready so that the download and installation procedure runs as smoothly as possible:

• Ensure that your iPhone is powered on. If your battery is below 50%, you won’t be able to download iOS 17, therefore it’s best to plug your phone in while you update. The battery needs to be over 20% to install iOS 17 even if you’re plugged in.
• Link up to Wi-Fi. Connect to a reliable Wi-Fi network before beginning the installation because you won’t be able to download iOS 17 using your mobile data.
  
• Make ample room for storage. Since iOS 17 will take up many gigabytes of storage space, you’ll need to make some space before downloading and installing it. To delete huge files and programs, navigate to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
