I have an iPhone 8 why is iOS 17 not available for my phone yet?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 8, iOS 16
An iPhone 8 or iPhone X isn't capable of 17 or above; they require an A12 or better CPU.

iOS 17 will never be available for the iPhone 8.....because the iPhone 8 hardware cannot meet the requirements for iOS 17.
This is not possible.
As noted you can’t get iOS 17 on an iPhone 8.
Because the iPhone 8 is not compatible with iOS 17. That is not going to change.
See the list of devices that are compatible with iOS 17 near the bottom of iOS 17 - Apple
