With the RC, sometimes when I restart my iPhone it has the wrong desktop background image - using the one I have set for the lock screen.
This is fixed by a further restart - happens on 2 different iPhones. Only appeared in the RC, it in any of the betas.
It’s little bugs like this that make this RC about a 6.5 out of 10 for me - a little disappointing. I’ve seen other small things, just enough to make if feel ‘not polished’.
It always seems to take half the year between major iOS releases for Apple to get the OS really solid.
I’d love to move my update cycle to mid year, like wait until about iOS 18.5 to update from 17.7. That way you’d miss most of the annoying bugs.

Been commented on already up-thread somewhere. I'm surprised this bug made it into the RC. The workaround is to wait a few seconds after a reboot before unlocking. If you forget, then switching the background/focus mode (and waiting a few seconds as before) saves a second reboot.
It isn't to those people who REALLY focus on that sort of thing. If you never really focus on it, only huge stutters or changes in frame rate will be obvious to you (and me).
Speed on 6.
After 10 feet or so the speed drops precipitously compared to my other devices on 6.
No issues connecting.
Thanks for the tip. Kinda says it all about iOS these days...workarounds-ahoy!
Completely agree. Apple made a big show of having multiple backgrounds/wallpapers and focus modes associated with them. And yet, it's a very complicated thing to set up properly. Outside of this forum I reckon most people don't bother with it. I don't know anyone who has more than one background, and they don't know what a focus mode even is.
And now, in the RC, even a single background doesn't work properly. We're regressing in terms of usability. I could rant for ages (who knows about the "back tap" option? or how to seamlessly use two networks with an esim? - who decided on the button layout so that you take screenshots when trying to shut the phone down?). Ah, I digress.
iOS 17 is actually quite good, considering the deliberate design choices that Apple have made
6ghz for me on my 15 Pro Max is always slower than 5ghz, even when Im sitting 10 inches from my mesh network satellite.
Right now:
5ghz 740down 37up
6ghz 652down 35up
My guess is it's because my mesh network also uses the 6ghz band for the backhaul between the satellites, so if I use 6ghz the connection is shared between devices and satellites, and if i use 5ghz it's only shared between devices. I dunno
Yeah, it’s the regression that gets me. There seems to be a habit these days of breaking things that had been solid for years.Completely agree.

It’s one thing when new features aren’t very stable but when foundational features regress it’s a bitter pill to swallow.
Yeah like how the parallax effect on the home screen icons stops if you swipe to the app library or the dedicated widget screen.
Same. I think the relevant setting here is “reduce motion” in the vision section of accessibility settings. With reduce motion toggled off, the icons are supposed to float over the background image, so when you turn the phone a little the background image moves a little behind the icons.
As you said, this doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Updated yesterday to iOS 17.2 on my 15 Pro Max. Now AirPods 2 connection seems to be bad: Musik playback in Apple Music seems to be very slow and laggy (only with connected AirPods). Restarted the Phone, erased / reconnected the AirPods.
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Thanks and Best,

Messages is working as usual for me.
14 Pro
Maybe something in your Messages, iCloud or Apple ID settings.
If I try and send a photo using WhatsApp via share sheet nothing happens. All other apps work via share sheet so not sure if it’s iOS specific or WhatsApp. Feedback sent.
Reported it to Apple… Does anyone else have the issue? Can’t share links via iMessage or Whatsapp. Cant share photos either from the album app… only from inside the apps, not from Safari or Photos
Same here with iOS 17.0.3 on iPhone 15 Pro Max
Sending photos from the share menu is broken for me. Not sure if it’s an iOS or WhatsApp issue like after I select the photos from the Photos app and select a contact, it doesn’t actually send anything and simply stays on this screen. It works from within the app like WhatsApp directly

I can share links and photos successfully from Safari or Photos using iMessage on iOS 17.2 RC2. It does not work with Whatsapp though (and hasn't worked for a while IIRC).
Here as well.
Seems to be an issue by WhatsApp itself
