iOS 17 Speculation Thread
I know its early, but we are just over 3 months until iOS 17 betas start, lets use this thread to speak about things we would like and wish in the upcoming update. For me its Split screen, New home page with new UI including 3d icons with shadows, interactive widgets.

I know it has for me. And I've been blaming my internet provider. Connectivity has been bad for years. I thought it was normal for a while.
That’s correct. You need to “restore” back to it using a IPSW file. Instructions can be found in the first post in this thread.
Yeah, there are just a few things Apple will never be super at - WiFi and cloud services.
I know the cloud stuff is a punchline after their early foibles , but I’d say it’s on a par with most of the others at this point.
I'd usually agree, when it works correctly it's really great. The cloud stuff has worked well for me for years and years, I quite liked it.
Since the iPhone 15 Pro Max though I've been having terrible issues trying to get all of my pics and video to upload...been syncing for 5 straight days now and it's still not complete. The sync number on the iPhone (in the Photos app) will only update if I restart the phone too which is a pain.
Not to worry about the issue though, I'll get there. Point is, when there is an issue it's so difficult to fix. Apple have created a 'black box' of sorts. When it works, it's great. When there's an issue though, good luck fixing it. That's my experience at least.
I'm running Google's photo backup too for comparison. It too doesn't communicate overly well with the user regarding tasks it's running. But I feel it's a little faster and currently a little more stable which is good. I'm probably in a niche situation really...quite a large photo library - 335GB
Yeah, there are definitely still some bugs to work out. It may be on a par with the others, but definitely at the lower end.
Before beta 2 launches, I would like to say that 17.2 beta 1 has poor battery life and overheats easily during cellular use. I am concerned about issues related to damaging components through wireless charging (fixed by 17.1.1; I doubt it is part of the 17.2 beta 1 package). If beta 2 takes another week to roll out, I suggest refraining from wireless charging until then.
Haven’t seen that one yet. Also battery life has maybe been even better than any release so far—15PM.
I use a MagSafe charger on my 15PM with no heat or charging issues. Maybe it’s a different situation with other types of wireless chargers. Also no heating while on cellular network(not while charging).
