iOS17 Required for GarageBand:

No. iOS16 is what is required. However, by updating your iPhone, only the latest compatible version will install. So, if compatible with iOS16, then it will install iOS17.

  1. Go Here: GarageBand for iOS - Apple
  2. Scroll to: fine print (bottom of page)
  3. As it Reads: "GarageBand is available on the App Store. iOS 16 required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID."
