Apple's iOS 17 software update, announced at this year's WWDC event, will not be available to download on some iPhones that are currently supported under iOS 16. 

With its coming release in the fall, iOS 17 will usher in features like live voicemail, FaceTime video messages, offline maps usage, and more.
