iOS 11 can be installed on some iPhone and iPad that Apple sold and still sells, but as you are already used to, the new version of the operating system eliminates compatibility with other models. We are talking here about old iPhone and iPad models that have 32-bit processors and on which iOS 11 will not run because Apple has completely removed support for them to focus on those with 64-bit processors.
iOS 11 will be totally compatible with 19 iPhone and iPad models that Apple still sells, so we are talking about extended support offered by the Americans. We are also talking here about support for iPod Touch 6G, the last model released by Apple, iOS 11 being the last version offered for this product, because starting with iOS 12 support will be withdrawn.
iOS 11 can be installed on all these iPhone and iPad models from the moment the update is available through the Software Update system, or through iTunes. Then you'll be able to immediately install the update for iOS 11 on your compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, so you'll just have to be patient and have a good enough internet connection to download.

iOS 11 is released this evening by the Apple company, the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touches will have the update available in the evening. More precisely, I told you that between 18:00 and 20:00 we should be able to install iOS 11 on compatible iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches, but everything depends on what Apple wants to do in order not to crowd servers and generate a bad update experience.
iOS 11 will NOT be displayed as an update on those iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches that are NOT compatible with it, so don't think you will see it there, because there are no ipsws created for them. Having said that, you now know which iPhones and iPads are compatible with iOS 11, so all you have to do is wait for the evening and pay attention to iDevice.ro to be notified when you can install iOS 11.
