Too early for them to stop working on iOS 17 there will be a 17.5
Apple doesn't disclose every single feature that they are planning to release. It's quite unlikely that we won't see 17.5 at all.
Apple usually releases new updates even when all of the “advertised at WWDC” features have already rolled out, generally for bug fixes and new features. They generally also include small tweaks to existing features, and sometimes even new bigger features as well. It would be extremely odd if Apple didn’t release an iOS 17.5, especially since it would be a wait all the way till September before iOS 18 becomes available to the public.
Why is it devastating? Are you expecting something big?
Remember everyone: we are only halfway through the public lifecycle of iOS 17. Almost six months to go until iOS 18 is released to the public. I not only think that there’s a 100% of iOS 17.5 but probably close to a 100% chance of iOS 17.6.
No way can they release 17.5 after releasing the press release on WWDC today. A mom and pop op can only do so much in day people.
Because of the MacOS patch yesterday the earliest I expect is 2 days later, so perhaps Wednesday or Thursday. The Easter event this weekend shouldn’t impair seeding. Its not like previous years where we had a seed then waited 2 weeks for another beta in April after Easter. Complications such as further EU changes should be most resolved unless a 17.4.2 patch is warranted. The longer it takes to kick off still means left out features could appear.
Something fairly big could come. The release of iPadOS 16.5 was also accompanied by the release of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro on the iPad. Maybe 17.5 will bring some decent improvements, especially considering that we’re only about halfway through the iOS 17.5 release cycle.
I hate to break it to ya, but I'm pretty sure 17.5 will be more of a "maintenance update", and most likely won't see beta 1 until next week. My guess is Tuesday.
All the goods and new shiny will be saved for WWDC24 announced today.
are we now going to get an emergency new update for this phising attack? Or is it not happening to that many users
