Hello all, today I would like to safely give you most of what I know about the upcoming iOS 17.
Control center has big changes!
Dynamic island does way more (thanks to marketing department)
More Always on display settings
A few more Focus mode filters
CarKey and wallet app implementations
Active widgets in testing*
Camera app changes**
notifications changes/options
Custom Accessibility settings
Health app favorites gets new layout
Heavily improved search
A metric ton of ARkit APIs/frameworks
Supports:
A11+ iPhones all supported from iOS 16. Including iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
iPads are iffy, 17 might support them all, but *could* drop A9, and even A10. This will be decided by a dedicated QC team in the coming weeks. (So will iPhoneOS/iOS, but it’s 100% certain the A11 Bionic chips and up will pass with flying colors.)
First few beta cycles may end up being rough for devices with 3gb of ram (standard iPads, iPhone 8/X) but will improve to become a more stable and efficient update for all devices ***especially*** the older ones. it will be their last update.
Performance, efficiency, stability and long-term support for older devices are the main features of this update.
The iPhone 15 Pros are still on track to receive capacitive/haptic buttons. The latest rumor claiming they will not is false, Apple still has plans for this to be a huge feature.
