Apple updated the software for the old iPhone

IT Desk: Good news for old iPhone users. Those using iPhone SE, iPhone XR and later generation phones will receive the software update. Apple has rolled out iOS 17 update for these phones. iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus users will not get the benefit of this software update. 

Apple said that iPhones older than five years will not receive this update. Because this update requires an older version of iOS.
