Even while iOS 17 might have previously been viewed as a pretty incremental upgrade, it sounds like it will be something to be excited about.
According to Mark Gurman in the subscriber edition of Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter, the impending iPhone upgrade, internally referred Apple as “Dawn,” began as a “tuneup release” but has now evolved into something more grandiose.
iOS 17 will reportedly “boast numerous “nice to have” enhancements,” including “some of the consumers’ most desired features,” as opposed to modest upgrades.
Gurman adds none of those improvements are “tentpoles” as configurable lock screens were for iOS 16, but he doesn’t go into depth about what they are.
Unsend options for emails and messages, customization of the lock screen, and Live Activities were just a few of the many new features in iOS 16. As a result, several software flaws and oddities appeared, which Apple ostensibly sought to fix with iOS 17. If Apple’s developers felt confident enough to start incorporating new features into the mix, maybe these problems have now been totally resolved.
What may iOS 17 include?
There have been a few rumors about iOS 17 features up to this point. According to sources, Apple shifted its attention away from releasing new iOS features so that employees could work on the company’s rumored AR/VR headset and new operating system.
Apple permitting third-party app stores to function in iOS for the first time is the only prospective change the leak-o-sphere has identified. This might have a significant influence on the apps you can download to your iPhone and how you interact with them.
During WWDC, where Apple typically releases new operating systems for its gadgets every year, we should learn the first details about iOS 17 in 2023. After a few months of both limited and open beta testing, it will probably receive a stable release alongside the iPhone 15, which should come in September.
Based on the compatibility of past iPhone models with older iOS versions, we anticipate that devices starting with the iPhone X will be supported by iOS 17.
