It looks like Weather App has been updated again. The screen is a lighter shade of blue now. See it in action below! (Hard to tell here but if you stare at it for 5 seconds or more the subtle blue settles in nicely).

iOS 16 (Left) v/s iOS 17 (Right)

Running the beta on all devices, SMS syncing was always broken b1 and b2. Downgraded Mac as first step to back out, as I need this working correctly

Has anyone already checked for this? Not sure if the glitch is stemming from Sonoma beta or iOS iPad betas..
 
I was finally ready to hop onto the iOS 17 beta train, but cannot get the ipsw to install via iTunes on Windows using the “Shift+Check for Update” function. I click the file I downloaded from the dev portal and nothing happens (not even an error message). First time I’ve had this issue. Anyone know a fix (and yes I searched the forum already)?

What’s wrong with OTA?
There’s thousands of us without any issue. Even the devs do OTA.

I’m part of the (probably small) camp that finds that the ipsw installs via PC/Mac are way more stable for the devices than doing the OTA. Whenever I have issues or weird bugs with OTA downloads an ipsw install generally fixes the issue.

Might be placebo, but I know there are others on here who echo the same sentiment.

Unfortunately, there’s no arguing with sentiments.

You cannot install iOS 17 betas via ipsw without Xcode.

Last I understood, iTunes on Windows does support IOS17 yet.

I'm surprised I haven't seen someone post the bug where out of a family of 4, voicemails are going to every one of our phones and it shows the call logs from other devices. Is there a workaround for this?
