iOS 17 Speculation Thread

+1 graphic designer here, I agree that everything should match each other across the ecosystem. Fingers crossed we get those icons finally 🤞
All I want is proper multiple users support on iOS and tvOS.
I never cared much for new icons but I do agree they should keep them consistent across the ecosystem and the macOS one’s do look nice. Can’t wait to see what’s all in store- only a couple hours to go!

I highly doubt you'll get multiple users support on iOS... iPhone is a personal device, I don't think too many people are sharing one iphone... you might get multiple user support on iPadOS at some point though.
I’m hoping that if they will add it to iPadOS, they won’t gatekeep it from iOS solely on principle.
My personal edge case (that is fairly common in Europe) is that I’m living in 2 countries and regularly travelling in 3 others. Each of the 5 countries has apps that are locked to the regional App Store - so to get them I have 5 Apple IDs, one for each country. It’s a pain to manage… and I’d love to just login with all of them and forget about it.
Apple TV has some support for multiple users, but it’s infuriatingly incomplete - you can easily switch TV or Music libraries, but not the third-party apps or even iCloud Photos. Only AirPods of the main user connect easily, etc.
I’m interested in seeing what some refinements to Stage Manager in iPadOS 17 might look like, there’s currently a few points I view as weak points to Stage Manager, and most of them are external monitor-related: A. When you click the Control Center button on the external monitor, Control Center opens on the iPad’s display instead of the external monitor where you would expect it to open. B. You can’t open Notification Center with the button, the button is there, but clicking it doesn’t open it on the monitor or the iPad. C. You can’t take advantage of your monitor’s web cam.
Judging from the rumors, I think there’s a pretty good chance of these things being fixed in iPadOS 17. I also want to see some additional refinements such as naming of app window groups, and the ability to save certain app window groups for tasks. This would make Stage Manager a killer productivity system! As it is, I think it’s incredibly useful, but these refinements could make it that much better. 👍🏻

It already exists on iPadOS. Schools etc with MDM can go multi-user.
If they don’t include it in iOS, I don’t think it would be due to gatekeeping, but rather the differences between iPadOS and iOS. While they share much in common, even a base system, iPadOS has branched quite a bit from iOS, and different design considerations have to be taken into account due to screen size. If a Multi-User system was implemented on iPadOS similarly to macOS, this could work on the iPad, but would take up far too much of the Lock Screen on iOS. I think it would be nice if they add it to both, and I a hope you get the feature you want, just explaining the reason it could end up being implemented on iPadOS but not iOS.

Every year its the best one ever lol..... Every software and iphone release Tim claims it's the best one ever. Which to be fair it usually is since it's the latest but still funny that he has to say it each time.
Yea I’m baffled by this as I just got a new MacBook and was shocked to see all the gorgeous Mac icons had been replaced by iPhone icons, not just the design but the shape too. The only difference is that a few of them have a slight shading to appear slightly less flat, that’s it. So after all these years I don’t want the same ugly clip art icons, I want something new and good looking.

You forgot saying how "super excited" they are 🙄
Wish each department head wrote in their own words so they didn't all sound the same/so robotic and so boring at times repeating words "we are so super excited". It would give a bit more personality and flavour of interest through out. I think.
"And today I'm super excited to ... ah ... hold on ... someone on Twitter is posting that the Nationwide UK banking app doesn't work. I'll be right back. I need to post a LOL"
I'm getting more excited now. Hopefully won't be too disappointed haha
I’ve been trying to manage my expectations, but I’m super stoked to see what’s new! 👍🏻
