iOS 17 upgrade isn't really an upgrade. It's more like a mid year patch.
Got a tip for us?

I’ve just got it and comepletly agree. I‘m staring at it feeling like nothing has changed. I was thinking id have something to play with.
same for iPad os
anyone else update failed, and went to recovery mode? and then cant update in recovery mode either forcing a restore?
so, literally the only thing I was excited about was the live voicemail feature... now only to realise this feature is only available in the US and Canada... WTF!? Nooooooooooooooooo!
Yikes. Hope that doesn’t happen to me. I’m upgrading at work on cell signal, not wifi, right now. Why I’m upgrading on day one, I have no idea.
It works with a regular Qi charger also as long as the phone is sideways.
Yes, especially on the 14pro if it's using the active display (looks like it is but can't tell for sure)
I still can't see iOS 17 through Finder in Mac OS. Is anyone else having this issue?
Asking for a friend...
Get 17 now or wait for 17.1 later, after reading how iOS 17 acts/behaves on the iPhone 13 & 14 models by reviewers?

This happens almost every year. If you want to update through a computer it usually takes a day or two to show up.
Apple never claims all new features will be available immediately, just that they will be a part of the OS. Even if they released those features in the last point release of the OS, it would still be fine.
There are subtle refinements throughout the OS. I for one am happy that this seems like more of a maintenance release. I expect next year will be more feature-rich.
Why should you ask others when you can see for yourself how it behaves?
If you don't like it, you can downgrade until the latest version of ios16 is signed.
I don't see a single reason to make a choice based on what others say.
It's like traveling without headlights at night.
They could do this very easily, but it is simply not a change thats even on their "to do" list.
This is why they allow keyboard add-ons, so you can get this feature from someone else.
Has it worked for you. I had to leave for work and couldn’t kept on trying so I could have a semi-working phone I had to update it from the iPhone itself which I honestly didn’t wanted to do.
I wanted to erase to factory settings from iTunes but it didn’t found a new update until 1:35 pm.
I kept on trying “check for update”
“Restore to factory settings”
Quiting iTunes
I even restarted my Mac but nothing
Ugh, after downloading, the install is taking forever. I’m a little concerned it will have an error as it is on the second try now.
Actually, it says US and Canadian English. It's tied to the phone language, not the location.
it just finished downloaded via finder, but i had an error about
At some point appeared, 7.77 gb...downloaded, but it showed me an error about not enough space on my mac and install failed. Now checking again and nothing...
Same. Not working.Huh, my reminders when set to grocery list don’t seem to be sortingthat’s disappointing. Hopefully this will clear up soon or I’m using it wrong
I do seem to strongly recall they were different last year. Of course iOS 16 was very buggy for months after release and essentially its entire lifetime if you count the abomination that was autocorrect.
In my experience, even those features that are available also never worked reliably.
