Apple has finally released iOS 17, which brings a lot of improvements and new features to the iPhone operating system. It comes with new customization options for the Lock Screen, improved iMessage and FaceTime, new Health features, and StandBy mode. But some iPhone models are not compatible with the update. Read on as we detail whether you can install the update.

The update has four focuses: communication, sharing, intelligent input, and new experiences. It’s worth noting that some features like the Journal app are not available with the first release of iOS 17. According to Apple, these features are coming later this year.

“With iOS 17, we’ve made iPhone more personal and intuitive by deeply considering the features we all rely on every day,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “Phone, FaceTime, and Messages are central to how we communicate, and this release is packed with updates we think our users are going to love. We’ve also reimagined AirDrop with new ways to share, autocorrect gets even better, and we’re introducing all-new experiences with Journal and StandBy, plus so much more.”
