Apple Seeds Seventh Betas of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[FooArk]

It’s rather concerning we’re on beta 7 and FaceID remains largely broken.

What's wrong with yours specifically? I haven't had any FaceID issues on my iPhone 14 Pro running the beta since Dev Beta 1.

I've been using it as a daily driver since beta 1 with no real issues.

That being said, you may as well wait for the public release at this point.

All right, can’t quite put my finger on it but there’s something different in Camera anyone else knows something

I’ve been running since public beta 2 (I installed developer beta 2 but had some issues I couldn’t live with so I went back to iOS 16). Since public beta 2 I’ve had no issues, even battery life has been totally fine which I thought it might be affected by love widgets but even that’s been fine. Up to you but I’ve enjoyed being on public beta for the past month or so.

I wonder what version will be installed on the iPhone 15 out of the box? Those have to be already boxed up and ready to ship no?

Not even close to being boxed up

I don't see anything different

A lot of failed attempts. Even after adding a new profile / scan

Did you submit a bug report? I wonder how widespread that issue is.

 

[GIZBUG]

Car play issues mainly gone?

Glad the 'end call' button now stays in the same spot when the keypad is opened. That was maddening in the previous beta how it moved right to where your finger had just tapped to get the keypad.

Has anyone ran into volume issues? I often am unable to adjust volume up or down when playing music, etc. Only a restart fixes it.

Was happening to me a lot on Beta 6, hoping this new beta fixes that.

 

[Lucas Curious]

did anyone get text messages getting stuck with frozen screen in last beta? also forcing pone to restart wouldn't work.

A few times yes

Well, I had another bug and couple that was healed with…full reset.

I never thought that apple software become more windows like “reinstall and that will help” but i was surprised, before start using beta 17, fully reset a lot bugs that I have.

Although I go to beta 17 without reset and bugs were there, downgrade, reset and install beta 17. Not on purpose, just check how good it was and so on, you know 😊

Anyway the reason behind that ongoing bugs I explain because of hopping between beta and stable releases

This is something I used to do when beta testing on the Mac, ALWAYS reset the entire OS. But, haven’t tried that on the iPad.

I’ll reset everything once we have the RC for 17 just to see if this strange issue is resolved.

There was also a HomePod 17 beta update today - 21J5347a is the new version

iPhone 13 Pro seems to be heating up after update. Hope it stops.

This is common, it is doing indexing, etc.

Is your Face ID area of the iPhone clean?

 

[apple020997]

Yeah. Usually like a “day 1” patch. (gamers know all too well about day 1 patches 😭)

You don’t have to deal with day one patches if you buy games 2-3 years after their release and with a big discount on Steam.
Added bonus: all DLCs/expansions/performance updates/mods.

This is sooo true. I did recently convince myself not to buy recent games until at least 6-months after release.

It’s made my iPad 11/M1 feel super responsive after the last beta; i guess they are in optimization mode for this release?

What about iPads? This article only references iPhones.

This beta has been smooth sailing on my M2 iPad Pro and 14 Pro Max. In terms of performance, I almost prefer it to iOS 16.
