I am unable to update my iPhone X to iOS 17.6.1

Hi I haven’t updated my phone software in a while (currently running 16.7.8) and when I go to software updates in my phone the only option is 16.7.10


Any reason why 17.6.1 would not be available?

FYI it’s an iPhone X

My recommendation is do not update to 17.6.1. Since doing so my 2 year old phone continually drains battery and overheats with simple 20 to 30 minute phone calls in a cool environment. Apple says there’s nothing to do.

I’m down to 60% battery in four hours with three or four audio text being sent and checking emails. I do not play games or stream on this phone. This is ridiculous.
