As we always say before entering this post, this beta is compatible with all devices that are compatible with iOS 17, that is, from the iPhone XS to the iPhone 14 including the second generation iPhone SE.
Beta 8, the penultimate and we’re leaving?
If we go to iOS information, this version of iOS 17 beta also ends in A, like the previous beta. However, this if we can say without fear of being wrong that this is going to be the last beta, because normally Apple usually releases eight betas before launching the Realise Candidate, that is, the final beta.
News
The novelties of this version are very few, since as we get closer to the end we will have less new features and more bug fixes.
One of the most interesting novelties has to do with information to record our state of mind. The novelty is that the rhythm of the beats is a little more fluid and visually more attractive.
The Apple Music application has also improved, since if we have CarPlay nearby or it is connected, people will see a notification that serves to add more people and be able to add songs even if they are not subscribed to Apple Music.
This app appears in both notification center and lock screen center. Also, for those users who were concerned about this function, we have the triple vibration when we activate the silent mode. This is something that was added a few betas ago and is a new action button indicator.
Bugs and problems
Once we’ve seen the updates we’re going to talk about the bugs and issues that rarely still show up after eight betas.
One of the most common errors that we find are the notifications, which often stops and does not have a good fluidity. The problem with this is not that it is serious or that it is not, it continues to appear since iOS 16. Apple, calm down, without rushing.
Also in the information that Apple provides about the beta, it includes up to a total of 11 errors that Apple knows about and that it is trying to solve for the next beta. In addition, we have almost three we have almost 30 problems that have occurred throughout beta number eight.
This indicates that Apple has left tasks to be done for the RC and the truth is that I was quite surprised because there are 11 days left for the presentation of the iPhone 15.
Finally, we can highlight that Apple has improved the performance of its beta, an aspect that is normal because little by little the beta is being polished. As for the battery, we have also noticed improvements, but its use and autonomy drop is still too abrupt to be an almost final version.
