Apple Releases iOS 16.6.1, iPadOS 16.6.1, and watchOS 9.6.2 With Bug Fixes

I thought a lot of new features and some device support were being added to iOS 17. Is this not the case?

Sure, it is just some of them are very subtle and some still need to actually come out.

Yes there are 300+ reported new features and changes. There are video posts in the 17 beta thread. Have a look.

Thanks to you, and to “one more“ who also replied.

Had trouble installing iOS 16.6.1 on my iPhone 8 Plus 256. Kept failing the verify pass offering retry and remind later. Rebooted and deleted download and tried again and still failed.
Had it on airplane mode with WiFi on, turned off airplane mode and it installed just fine with the previous failed download so Apple is now requiring cellular data?
Wondering if anyone without a data plan can't install it?

Anyone can tell me if watchOS 9.6.2 doesnt change anything to be similar to watchOS 10? I had to downgrade from watchOS 10 to 9.6.1 cause I hated it. Hated the colors/difuminations all around the system and the change of gestures.
