iOS 17 Speculation Thread

[iLuddite]

The RC is too stable. Can’t wait for 17.3 beta 1 next week!

What new improvements or minor features do we think might come with iOS 17.3? I’m hoping they expand AirPlay Receiver to include support for iPhone and iPad screen mirroring as well. It looks exactly identical to the AirPlay Receiver setting on macOS. If they were going to limit it to only the Vision Pro being able to make use of it, they should have named it something else, like “Vision Pro Display Link”, or “Vision Pro Screen Mirroring”… So I’m hoping for that, and I’m still hoping we either get the ability to use Control Center on an external monitor, and/or a true clamshell mode for the iPad when connected to an external monitor. 👍🏻

That seems most likely to me. If not then, almost certainly by Tuesday.

I agree, Monday seems spot on

Nice to know we have moved on from the Wednesday 13th predictions.

Okay but what about 17.3 beta 1?

Official releases tend to come out on Mondays, where betas tend to come out mid-week’ish..

Take it from someone who’s “been there” before: running betas over the holidays can be a bummer when there’s a bug and you have to wait an extra week…

We have no clue to what attraction 17.3 beta 1 will consist of. I really like to see Classical show up on CarPlay as one suggestion. Separate genres for TV content inside library on Apple TV, perhaps a list view instead of images when searching library. If it's some new app, probably would not really use it.

Uh, yeah, this won’t be my first time at the rodeo. I’ve been beta-testing pretty much incessantly since like iOS 4…

and usually for .3 beta 1, it runs for 3 weeks, no updates until mid Jan.

Usually the first beta of any test cycle is the least risk, as it’s been tested more then follow-up betas where Apple is tinkering with new feature implementation as well as collected feedback on that on changes/fixes. Wonder if 17.3b1 will show up by Wednesday?

17.3 won't be here to Mid February

 

[Domadia_Jasmine]

So can we assume if not coming today means tomorrow comes out with the new build?

I mean new build number then what current RC has for the public release.

 

[Abthevolfan92]

lately the Public has not been releasing on Monday's, seems like it's always tuesday

 

[thatJohann]

Hoping for today but I have a feeling it will be tomorrow.

Well, taking into account that tvOS RC beta 2 and Mac OS RC beta 2 were released last Friday, I´m going to say that the final public release will happen next week, perhaps on Monday 18th, just before the holidays.

Nah should be today, they sometimes push last min changes but I’m sure it’s today

I could see something like this delaying things by a day. But there’s no way this will delay things by a full week or more.

Remember that each RC is expected to be the released software. So unless there’s something more wrong with the RC2s for tvOS and Mac OS, they should be ready for release as soon as possible.
