In just about two months , we ’ll get our first look atiOS 17 , the tardy iPhone update that , like always , will bring scores of changes and enhancements . Rumors say it will lack a major hook – like the Lock Screen in iOS 16 or the App Library in iOS 16 – to entice users to upgrade . However , even without a big feature film , iOS 17 is still shaping up to be one of the most exciting iPhone updates in years . Here ’s why .
Compatibility
When iOS 16 arrived last free fall , it dropped support for a few notable iPhones : the original SE , as well as the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus , and iPhone 7 and 7 Plus . After a report that Apple would be plunge the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus and the iPhone X this year , itnow appearsas though that wo n’t be the grammatical case , give another year of lifetime to those 2017 iPhones .
‘Most requested features’
We do n’t have sex much about what ’s in iOS 17 yet – and probably wo n’t until the tonic – but what we do know is exciting . Areport by Mark Gurmanlast month claimed that Apple would bring some of iPhone users ’ “ most requested features ” to iOS 17 . Among the recent rumors are “ major ” changes to Control Center , which would definitely be among our most requested feature . A recent making water also claim there will be enhancements coming to notifications , the always - on display , and the Camera app , as well as major improvements to public eye search , all of which would be gamy on our listing of call for features .
Much-needed maintenance
There was a time when Apple would regularly free so - called “ sustentation ” releases of Mac OS X that wouldfocus on carrying into action and stabilityinstead of add new features . It ’s not flashy , but it ’s necessary to keep things run for as tight and smoothly as they should . We have n’t had one of those in a while – and really never with iOS – but a late hearsay title “ performance , efficiency , and stableness ” will take center stage in iOS 17 . AfteriOS 16.4 broke a lot of thing , a maintenance and stableness release would go a foresighted agency toward making our old iPhones feel raw again .
Dynamic Island 2.0
Apple introduced theDynamic Islandwith the iPhone 14 Pro last year , and rumour has it that it will be coming to all of the iPhone 15 role model . This means Apple wants it to be the next big interface feature – and iOS 17 is rumored to bring it to the next level asApple total featuresto allow it to “ do a lot more . ” The possibilities are jolly endless , and we ca n’t wait to see what plan Apple has for it .
Next-gen CarPlay
At WWDC 2022 , Apple gave us a sneak peek at thenext coevals of CarPlay , with a stunning interface project to curb much more than your car ’s entertainment system . But we did n’t get much more than a few cool screenshots and a promise that vehicle proclamation would be coming in 2023 . We ’re hop to see a lot more of it during the iOS 17 segment of the WWDC demo .
