Guys I think give iOS 17 a chance, it's beta 1.

There is so much change it's hard to even compare it in its present beta state to iOS 16 with many official finished releases under its belt.

Maybe when it's officially launched Chris's comment is valid, if those things still stand, I doubt it though.

Who's not giving this beta a chance? Overall I like it very much. I was just agreeing with another poster that there were, of course, issues that I noticed in common with him.

I'm able to to use Siri to turn off/on preprogrammed Focuses like DND or Sleep, but it can't turn off/on a custom made/named Focus. Anyone else?
 
This is cool!

Was just saying give iOS 17 a chance, as you agreed with the other guy so I included you, as the comparison was made to ios 16.

That’s all, nothing more 👍🏼
 
This may actually explain (some) why different users have varying experiences with these betas ....
Something I really didn't consider in any depth.

Just received my new iPad Pro 11 4th gen. I also have an iPad Pro 11 2nd gen. Both WiFi. Both on iPadOS 17.

Some things I found
  • Volume buttons are different. New is reversed and they scale sound differently
  • AirPods Pro 1&2 sound different on both.
  • Keyboard haptics - older is light while newer is heavier. Don't like either.
  • Lockscreen same info, info is displayed in different sizes - like the newer iPad stuff is scaled
  • Control center same info looks different -one has an advert for Home app
  • App Library folders are in different order
  • Apple Maps opens in different scales
  • Apple Maps information in bar is different - new has more Recents, old has more Favorites
  • Google Maps opens in the same scale and locations but the items displayed are different.
They are setup the same with the same apps and I am doing a side by side before I wipe my old.
I was surprised with the same setup, how different they really do run and how different the information is.
I can see this happening not only across devices and models but also countries.
Also why some have issues and others can't see it.

Looks like the Music app won’t let you share a song or album via Messages without typing something in the text field. Certainly a minor bug.

EDIT: actually it won’t let you send it even when you type something. Whoops.

Guess those who are having issues with SMS in messages ARE getting the messages to go through but just getting the annoying "! Failed" briefly? So far I seem to be getting them to go through but have had several of those failed messages for a few moments. Seems going out and back in clears the message. I suppose as long as its actually going through its not quite as big a deal.

Also seems several reports of things just stop working (standby dim/red for me) and a few others but a reboot seems to resolve. So a reboot or two a day may be warranted for a few weeks. Otherwise things seem to be pretty decent overall.

Well couldn't take the SMS issue any longer PLUS email, while working, was chewing through battery today. Like 3 hours and down to 1% battery left. SOOOO I had to downgrade back to iOS 16.6. :( Hopefully the next beta will resolve that nasty SMS issue and whatever is going on with mail. Other than those two issues, I was really digging 17.
Now I can look forward to 16.6 b3 LOL
