We are finally around the corner of the day that many iPhone users are looking forward to. Next Monday iOS 17 will arrive on compatible iPhones after months of beta testing. We already knew some features of iOS 17 that have been previewed in these beta versions of the software, but now that the company has released all the official information, we know them all.
Although iOS 17 does not meet all the wishes of users, being a minor update compared to what we have seen years ago, the truth is that Apple’s operating system has some new features that will really catch the attention of iPhone users, although…
Not everyone will be there on Monday
Something that we would already know, but that has been confirmed in this document, is that many of these great features of iOS 17 will not be released until later this year. According to Apple, there are a number of new features coming to iOS 17 before we enter 2024, via a separate software update.
In this way, although many of the new features in Apple software will end up arriving on our phone next Monday, for those that we are going to detail below, we will have to wait a little longer.
