When we have not yet recovered from the hangover from yesterday’s Keynote, as is tradition, Apple has released iOS 17 RC, the final beta version of this operating system and which means that all Apple fans can mark in red when iOS will be released 17 officially for all compatible devices. Do you want to know the latest news? Keep reading and we’ll tell you everything.
iOS 17 RC includes the worst news of this new generation
Normally, Realise Candidate is not characterized by offering many new features to its users, since the most important thing is fix bugs and optimize the operating system ahead of its launch that will take place in the coming days. However, Apple usually leaves some small news for last, but unfortunately in this version, rather than launching new features, it has released a new feature for “muddle through rather.”
Specifically, in this RC we find more than 20 new ringtone and sound alert options available in the final version of iOS 17. Thanks to this new feature, users can set new sounds for when they receive calls, text messages, emails or calendar alerts. Some of the old ringtones have been slightly remastered to sound better.
It is also important to highlight that the new ringtones have a haptic response much more prominent than the previous ones, that is, some of them also sound more endless, without a noticeable pause to repeat the sound.
Finally, returning a little to the topic of whether it is a true novelty or not, we really should not have been so critical either, since, since iOS 7 in 2013, Apple does not release new ringtones And, the small novelty of tones that existed in 2017 were not available on all compatible devices, while, in iOS 17 you can have an iPhone XS and enjoy this novelty.
iOS 17 release date and supported devices
