Mark Gurman has some final surprises in store when it comes to revealing rumors via his Bloomberg newsletter. The well-known leaker recently commented on another small but interesting improvement that we will see in iOS 17: AirPlay improvements to play our content more comfortably.
Apparently, these improvements would not be quality or performance, but flexibility. iOS 17 could allow us to send content to devices that aren’t ours, making it easier to stream videos or songs to other people’s TVs or projectors.
Easier to read content away from home?
We might find an interesting difference, because to date using AirPlay in other people’s homes is asking them for access to their WiFi and nothing else. That same weekend, I invited several people over to my house for lunch, who were surprised at how their iPhones could interact with the playback from my HomePods since they were connected to my local network.
Maybe in iOS 17 even that’s not necessary: Apple might have found a way to send that content even when there’s no access to that Wi-Fi network, which for example It can be very useful in conference rooms and hotels. Imagine staying in one of them and being able to play whatever you want from your iPhone on the screen in the room, even if the network signal is weak.
In addition to this, Gurman also comments that we will see improvements in the Wallet application suited to the growth of Apple’s financial services. It’s something we already knew, but it wasn’t going to specifically target that. Doubts may still arise in this regard, but we will leave doubts in six days.
