iOS 17: Leaked details - What can we expect?

At the end of January, Apple released iOS 16.3 to iPhone users. Now, in September, we’re expecting the release of iOS 17 alongside the new iPhone 15! And although it’s still early days, some details have already leaked.

It seems that iOS 17 won’t bring any major design changes, as it will look quite similar to iOS 16. According to reports, new features are expected to include improvements to device stability and performance, as well as support for Apple’s Reality Pro AR/VR headset. This means iOS 17 will have a new app specifically for the headset.

Changes and simplifications

Changes are also expected in the Home app, along with tweaks to Find My. According to the same reports, the Music app will also be updated, with changes mainly focused on navigation.

Mail will also be simplified, Reminders and Files will be improved, and updates are coming to the Fitness and Wallet apps too, with the latter linking to Apple Pay Later.

It also seems that iOS 17 will offer enhanced support for devices with Dynamic Island, such as the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, as well as the new iPhone 15 models. The new range will be equipped with a USB-C port, but only the Pro and Pro Max models will support USB 3.2. Finally, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is said to support more advanced image processing than the iPhone 15 Pro and to have a better cooling system.
