Well UK maybe soon, if ever the Digital Services bill gets royal ascent before the general election.
However like the EU legislation, it may also see the end of Whatsapp and iMessage if they adopt the whole lot.
If posts here are any indication, seems like lower interest than usual. Maybe caused by the 17.3 beta panic?
I think mainly it’s because aside from the side loading capability, which does not affect many of us (yet), this is a pretty dull release. All of the “missing” iOS 17 features have now been delivered, so there’s not much to get excited about.
I saw a note earlier that
Is WiFi better? For whatever reason, since 17.0 neither my iPhone 15 PM or iPad will connect to an unsecured WiFi network. Kind of a pain....
Has anyone had any problems with announced notifications from Siri while wearing AirPods on this beta? Haven't used a beta in awhile, thinking about trying this one, but one time I had a terrible bug that would shoot my volume levels to 100% while Siri was reading a notification.
Works ok for me. (Volume level doesn’t change while reading notifications)
Its difficult to test the side loading while there are no third party app stores to add. Bit like testing the first ever telephone- who ya gonna call?
One thing that I found in Safari (might be a bug), is that there appears to be somekind of a empty space up top. When you enter a website, you can actually scroll up and this empty space appears.
Edit: Looks like this bug comes and goes, sometimes its there and then its gone.

On my iPhone 13 Pro, this first beta has broken Apple Pay. The card does not appear when you bring the phone close to a dataphone, nor when you press the power button twice.
The Face ID animation is extremely slow, before the little icon with the app appeared directly, now it takes up to a second to start the animation once the app that is protected with Face ID is opened.
In the analysis and improvements section, the option to share logs with developers has disappeared.
If I click on a Health or Twitter notification, the app closes suddenly and the notification disappears. It has only happened to me in these two apps.
Update now using ipsw, but the errors persist. Restoration is not an option at the moment, because I use esim and my operator forces me to go to a store more than 50 kilometers from my house for a duplicate.

This interface is new.
Edit: Just saw it was reported yesterday.

The ideal would be to reinstall the system by restoring, and thus the esim is lost. I already lost one like this and I was left without service
I already saw this when connecting to my car's bluetooth since iOS 17
Yes. Instructions to do so are in the first post of this thread under a “Spoiler” tag.
Restoring does not erase the eSIM unless you specifically erase the eSIM when prompted.
The eSIMs are stored on a separate chip that survive restores.
That has been covered time and time again.
It says “no Apple Music required” but, is it required for the receiver of this QR to have the Android Apple Music app installed? Is this only for Apple devices? Or this could work playing music through a website?
Thank you.
The old one was better imo
Early beta, they will further change the design - most likely.
One big improvement on 17.4 I noticed is that how fast it will unlock my watch, its unlocked before the unlock text popup appears in my dynamic island.
