I agree with you. It's embarrassing, and looks more like a kindergarten than a serious forum for Apple users.

RIP Pacemaker - the only app that got WREKT by this update. No idea what happened but it LOST its beat-for-beat matching when ios17 rolled out in beta. Of course, the entire app got nuked cos the company got acquired etc, so that means no one is developing for that anymore. Another reason not to depend on the cloud for anything hosted by any server you don’t own (unless it’s a 5 eyes certified tech oligarch owned co like MSFT, AAPL, GOOG etc).
Holy moly, people still used this when DJay had heaps more features in the free version?
My carplay maps keeps trying to predict where I’m going (which is usually accurate) when I get in, but I don’t want that. How do I turn that feature off?
Settings > Maps > Siri & Search > Suggested Notifications [OFF]
Yep mine is actually off and it’s still trying to guess where I’m going every time I get in.
Apple Car New feature: auto-drive to places you might want to go. (Of course you cannot cancel that)
Yes indeed. I particularly like the “battery life seems better” just 10 minutes after it being installed!!!
Maybe their previous battery life was very, very, very bad?
Settings / privacy / location services / system settings / important places. You must turn it off or make exceptions.

I’ve used it since Beta 1. It’s actually been very stable except for battery drain and that’s basically been gone since Beta 6 or 7. I’ve had iPhones since 2007 and been paid dev since 2010 or 2011. iOS 17 has been the least buggy of them all. I wouldn’t worry too much (or at all) about upgrading now. Especially if you are planning on getting an iPhone 15 anyways. Either way, I’d go for it. It’s stable. I assure you that.
Well I tested iPad OS and just reverted back to iOS 16 due to insane screen/brightness flicker.
I don't plan on buying an iPhone 15 - will stay on the 14 pro max 2 more years before upgrading.
The battery hit is what concerns me.
If I would plan to get iPhone 15, then yeah... I wouldn't care and go ahead an install.
You're right. I updated one of my Macs days ago, but the other didn't notify me until yesterday an update was available. I assumed I had already applied the prior update and Beta 6 was "new".
