The iPhone XR is pronounced iPhone 10R, the "x" simply was used by Apple back then as it is the roman numeral for "10". And yes, the XR can run iOS 17, it was released in 2018 as the budget model at the time along with the iPhone XS and XS Max which were the higher-end models. Anything from 2017 like the iPhone X, 8 and 8 Plus and of course earlier will not get iOS 17. Whether you want to upgrade or not is entirely your decision, but if you are still perfectly happy with your iPhone XR then I would wait until next year when iOS 18 comes out which your iPhone XR most likely won't support.

At some point, i’m assuming, it was renamed the 10, and i think this means it will accept 17 with no problem. It still seems to be working well (Knock on wood) and so i’m assuming there’s no good reason to replace it. Do others agree? Thanks.

They were released in 2017 so if you bought it then and have been using it for the last 6 years then you did well and getting an iPhone 15 Pro will be a fantastic upgrade you'll really enjoy.

Is that correct. Will probably go for the 15 Pro soon. Bill Outman Sent from my iPhone On Sep 14, 2023, at 9:06 AM, llump...@austin.rr.com<mailto:llump...@austin.rr.com> wrote: Thanks everybody.
