My iPhone 8 Plus can’t update to iOS 17

Since banking apps are important the quick answer is that you need a new phone . In another year that iphone 8 will be a very old phone as it came at 7 years ago

Upgrading an iPhone 8 Plus to iOS17:

A. You can't.  The iPhone 7 will only install to iOS 16.7. See here: iPhone models compatible with iOS 17 - Apple Support. And, for the note, even if you could update, only the latest compatible version will install.

So, what to Try:

B. Update Using a Computer:

Have a Computer Handy? If so, try using a computer to update. Use my User Tip Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. If any updates are availabe, they will install, sure enough

That is correct. You would need an iPhone XR, XS or higher model to run iOS 17.

Correct. The iPhone 8 Plus cannot meet the requirements for iOS 17.

You can install iOS 16.7 on your iPhone 8 Plus though.

It's Time for a iOS17-Compatible iPhone.

Take this as a good reason to upgrade. Apple is proprietary --and they typically let a device go for 7 generations until is is no longer supported by updates. With no updates available, a bank would not want its customers to be insecure --updates are all about security. See here: iPhone Models Compatible with iOS 17 - Apple Support
