Apple to roll out latest iOS 17 for today: How to update your iPhone

livemint.com:

iOS 17 update starting today from 10:30 PM IST. To guide you through the process of downloading iOS 17, here is all the essential information you need to know.

The California based giant is discontinuing software support for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X with the introduction of iOS 17. However, iOS 17 remains compatible with the iPhone SE (second generation) and all iPhones released in 2018 or later.

Apple recommends that you backup your iPhone before downloading the new operating system. While the chances of data loss are low, it's a precautionary step.

Your iPhone typically backs up automatically when connected to power and Wi-Fi. If this feature is turned off, you can enable it by going to Settings > Your Name > iCloud > iCloud Backup, and then tap 'Back Up Now' to create a backup of your device.

After choosing 'Download and Install,' a loading bar will appear, along with an estimated download time. Once the download finishes, simply restart your device and wait for iOS 17 to install.
