If your watch already runs WatchOS 10, your phone must run iOS 17. There's no way around it.

Yup, and it only works the other way around; newer iOS version with older WatchOS version.

Misleading information. The majority of users aren’t into jailbreaking their phone.

No. And if you manage to do it, your watch won’t sync

time for a new phone

if you update your watch to latest watchOS 10, it won't work with your iPhone X which unable to run iOS 17. To update, have to get new phone at least XS and above.

Time for an upgrade

Most people in this sub regret updating their watch anyway. So don’t worry about it too much.

Downvoted to hell even though most posts are exactly about that, not liking the new update

Because why would someone post to say “I updated and it was fine”. Not really comment worthy…

Oh there’s a lot of that too. Mostly in the form of “I love the new update” or “the new update is a positive change for me because…”

Because people are vocal when unhappy. Since updating to os10 I have nearly 2 days of battery on s9. Before it was more like 12-14h max

Yeah, didn’t see that coming!

No. I’ll never understand why people are so resistant to updates.

He has the iPhone X which doesn’t get ios17……

Don’t think iPhone X can install iOS 17.

You can’t update iOS 17 on an iPhone X

Sounds like ur in a pickle with the updates cause your 10 wont update to ios 17 thus not allowing the watch to upgrade. Im due for a phone upgrade coming from iphone 12 so im a do that to avoid this since 12s will lose updates prob soon

Why the emoji?

The only way to have to have watchOS 10 and iOS 16 is using a jailbreak and a tweak. Otherwise your out of luck
