iOS 17 is just around the corner! And it is that the new version of the iPhone operating system is expected to be unveiled on the first day of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Event organized by Apple and scheduled to start on June 5.
There has been a lot of speculation about what Apple will show at this event, but now an anonymous source has leaked some details. This same informant was the one who last year gave specific details about the famous dynamic island, it is therefore a source with a certain degree of reliability.
Among the advances, it is said that iOS 17 will include performance and stability improvementsas well as others related to research, dynamic island, control center, etc.
Improved search function and improved dynamic island
Via Twitter and the MacRumors Forums, The source said that the search function will be greatly improved in iOS 17. However, he did not elaborate on what the improvements would be.
Currently, iPhone’s built-in search tool can display device and web-based information. Results are visible as you type. Starting with iOS 16, a “Search” button has been added to the bottom of the home screen, making it easier to access this feature.
Regarding the dynamic island, the source said that Apple will now include it in all iPhone 15 models.and not only in the Pro and Pro Max, as in the case of the iPhone 14. As for the software, I mention that the Dynamic Island will be able to do much more in iOS 17, but I won’t go into the details either.
Recall that the dynamic island, which was introduced last year, for now you display system alerts such as: incoming phone calls and low battery percentage. Additionally, it displays live activity information such as sports scores and Uber rides.
Other improvements we can expect with iOS 17
The above are not the only improvements expected with the new version of iOS. The source also reiterated that iOS 17 will introduce significant changes regarding the design and customization of the Control Center. I add that it will also include new custom accessibility settings, which will give the user more control over the iPhone interface.
It might have something to do with the hidden “Custom Accessibility Mode” that was discovered in the iOS 16.2 beta. The new mode would allow users to replace the usual home and lock screen with more accessible interface elements, configure larger app icons, among other settings.
Another expected change is notifications and always-on display, updates to the Camera and Health apps, more focus filters, and a host of new ARKit frameworks. On another side, Apple should launch its AR/VR headset once and for all by the end of the yearin which it is said that he has been working for a long time.
Rumors or real information?
The source who leaked the information believes that iOS 17 will focus on improving performance and stability. So you insist that the update will remain compatible with iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone Xcontradicting an earlier rumor.
We decided to share this information because it comes from the same source, which leaked specific details about the iPhone 14 Dynamic Island last year. However, we urge you to take it as mere rumors.
Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 during its keynote at WWDC 2023 which will be held from June 5. Ior safer is that the first beta version will be available for developers from this daywhile the first public beta will likely arrive in July.
