Every year with a small window Apple has released a iBook for the new iOS and iPadOS. Along phone and other products. Over the years I have quite a collection the last one being iOS and iPadOS 16.5. Does any one know the status of one for iOS & iPadOS 17. I find the web based currently available one not as useful.
 
The book versions were discontinued and moved to the Tips app. It’s similar to the website, but to me seems better to navigate.

I too have a few of the guides from over the years. Didn’t use them too much, but just liked knowing I had an old fashioned, complete manual at my fingertips.

Thank you, I have used the tip app and yes it’s good, but I still miss the books. It seams that the information supplied in the tip app is specific to the device being used. The phone tip app does add tips for the watch. I do have a question though. One thing I liked was for example view the book on the iPad for the phone and work the article on the phone, it’s easier than flipping back and forth on the device. Is there a way to get the information from the tip app, say for the iPhone onto the app for the iPad so the same look, and read on the iPad and do on the iPhone can be done?
