The new features coming in iOS 17 (Exclusive) from iOS/iPadOS/watchOS development team insider

[Unami]

All I want is health/activity on iPad.

Then watchOS workout app to support ant+ sensors for biking.


I know I know.. The watch doesn’t even have an ant+ capability. But there is still a small glimmer of hope that it does and just hasn’t been enabled similar to the HomePod temperature sensor.

Very likely not going to happen. The temperature/humidity sensor were already discovered at the teardowns of the homepod on release. But there's no indication of an ant+ chip in apple watches. It could theoretically be hidden in the SoC but as ant+ is a proprietary technology by the watches biggest competitor, garmin, it won't happen.

Yes it’s a huge stretch I know. Probably 0.0001% likely.

I think the most likely (though still unlikely) is a partnership with wahoo or hammerhead to create an api where the watch and bike computer can communicate. Maybe even something like CarPlay but for a bike computer.

Or just native support for sensors which operate of BLE which are much more common now anyway.

Hope we get genuine multitasking. iOS must be seriously inefficient if even android can do that with good battery life.

So much wasted space

What about simultaneous audio playback? Ffs I’ve been asking this for years

Does this equate to being able to scroll my Reddit without my music cutting out every two seconds? I’d like that a lot.

So we share the same pain 🥲

What are the significance of the asterisks?

* - possible, not for sure, still heavy testing, may wait iOS 18.

** - Will probably only make it to iPhone 15 Pro models, not all iPhone camera apps.

I stopped believing it when I read a QC team will device about the ipad support.

We all know Apple doesn’t have a QC team

Not sure if this is a reference to iOS 16 being ****, I don’t know what they call it, QC or not, it has to pass an inspection and that’s every. Single. Year.

Can you give any more details on the camera update?

Yes it is a reference to iOS 16. And macOS since Yosemite, and TvOs. And HomeKit. Zero quality control, zero testing. It is all f***ed up. Several thousand dollars of devices and then a $500 product does things more reliably. If you work at apple pass the message to the high levels: we need Scott Forstall and Bertrand Serlet back.

Agreed.I understand the reasons for only allowing one audio stream at a time but give us at least an option Apple!

Can we get calendar so we can see what we have on days not just dots, also let us remove the home bar

The Calendar app has not been changed since the iOS 7 redesign, which itself wasn't much of a change from the app on the original iPhone in 2007. Kind of absurd when you think about it.

 

[Choco Taco]

They say the camera app changes may be limited to 15s only. I’ll be very disappointed if that’s the case. I hope they do something about the post processing

The post processing is absolute trash and I’m having to take all my pics with Halide.
