It has been officially announced iOS 17 At WWDC, it’s Apple’s biggest annual software update for iPhone users, and this year, iOS 17 has new features for Messages, FaceTime, and Tools. Below we will show you everything you need to know about this system and its most important features. And what it offers to users.
iOS 17 beta
As of June, iOS 17 was only available to developer beta testers, but this year there’s a big change in the developer beta testing process. In earlier users, iOS developer betas were only available to registered developers who paid $99 per year.
But for iOS 17 this year, Apple is making beta versions available to anyone who signs up for a free developer account, and doesn’t require a $99 annual subscription.
But Apple says these beta versions are “for developers” for a reason, because the iOS 17 beta has many bugs and performance issues that can significantly impact battery life, and the iOS 17 developer beta is available for free. Installing it doesn’t mean you have to run it.
However, later this month, Apple will release a public beta of iOS 17, which will still have bugs and quirks, but to a lesser extent than developer betas.
Supported iOS 17 devices
It’s worth noting that iOS 17 requires an A12 Bionic chip or later, which means the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus — all of which were first released in 2017 — won’t get the update this year. Full details Here is the list of supported devices. iOS 17:
iPhone XS and XS Max
iPhone XR
iPhone 11
iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max
iPhone 12 and 12 mini
iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max
iPhone 13 and 13 mini
iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max
iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max
iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation)
What’s new in iOS 17?
Apple says the goal of iOS 17 is to make your iPhone “more personal and intuitive,” and it has new features to do just that.
iOS 17 includes a new feature called “Contact Posters” that lets you customize how your profile appears when you interact with other iPhone users, and you can set up your contact to include profile pictures, special typography, font colors, and more. .
For FaceTime audio and video calls, Apple added voicemail support for the first time, so when you call someone, you can send them a message explaining why you called them, and when they call you, they can leave a voicemail.
For FaceTime, Apple has added various new reactions. These include hearts, balloons, fireworks, lasers and rain. These effects can be activated with certain gestures and are compatible with third-party applications.
StandBy is one of the most significant changes for iPhone users this year. When you place your iPhone horizontally on the charger, it displays a new custom Smart View style interface with easy-to-use widgets for things like the time, calendar, and alarms. , still more.
For fans of home screen widgets, iOS 17 has a big update with support for interactive widgets. This means you can interact directly with the widgets instead of going directly to the app itself. For example, you can interact with Enable and Pause controls. Along with the music app widget directly on the iPhone’s home screen, Apple also added Home app widgets for the first time.
