Given that your tag line says iPad and that you are posting in an iPhone forum, it is not clear which device you are asking about. The following links should help you to determine what versions of iOS/iPadOS 16 and 17, if any, your device can run. For iPadOS 17, the compatibility list is towards the very end of the iPadOS 17 description page.


iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 are compatible with these devices - Apple Support

iPhone models compatible with iOS 17 - Apple Support

iPadOS 17 - Apple



May I please get the iOS 17
