Apple revealed iOS 17at its 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference on Roman Perez Jr. ArchivesMonday, detailing updates such as its new Check-In safety featureand Live Voicemail transcription. 

However, not all iPhones will be able to take advantage of these new functions. Some of Apple's older phones are being left out of the great iOS 17 update, most likely because newer, more robust software requires newer, more robust hardware to run it.
