Apple supports its smartphones for the longest period compared to any other smartphone brand.
When Apple announced iOS 17, Apple also revealed the iPhones that will be cut from receiving any further updates. iPhones older than iPhone X did not make the cut and will not be updated. That means iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 will be updated to iOS 17 and along with the newer iPhones.
