The iPhone 8 has reached the end-of-life support for Software Updates to the latest iOS operating system, which makes it vulnerable to online malicious cyberattacks.

iOS 17 is not even available any longer from Apple.


But, even if it was, your iPhone 8 Plus does not have the processing speed to run that iOS version.


Scooters has abandoned you by requiring an iOS version that your iPhone 8 Plus cannot run.


If you do want to put up with Scooters decision, you will need to buy a new iPhone.
