What time can I download iOS 17 today? How and when to get the Apple iPhone update

Apple will release iOS 17, the iPhone’s next operating system, to the public today, Monday, September 18, 2023.

iOS 17 is packed with new features including Contact Poster, which lets you personalize what people see on their screen when you call them; StandBy, which shows you information at a glance whenever your iPhone is plugged in and in landscape mode; and interactive widgets, which allow you to complete tasks from the home screen without opening the app.

While Apple has confirmed that iOS 17 will be released today, it didn’t specify a time. So when will iOS 17 become available for download?
