iOS 17.5 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[2Xtreme21]

I’m struggling to find anything obviously different from 17.4.1. Modem firmware and carrier version higher but haven’t seen anything else. (14 Pro and in EU).

IPSW is up

That was quick!
Big modem firmware update too!

 

[Chrisjmv]

On 17.4.1? That’s why I updated to 17.5 beta since I’ve had better battery life on betas.

Same. Hope 17.5 fixes it. 17.4.1 was a mess with Battery Life for me [iphone 15 PM]

It’s gonna feel long until final release…

modem version is lower than 17.4 13PM what's the point

Happens every time because the 17.5 build was forked off 17.4 or 17.4.1 before it was final.

Not every time tho, as 15 and 14 series indeed got a (much) higher version.

Of course they release this right before I take a 3 day trip. 😀

Same as so often with a beta 1

Hopefully it's finally going to fix the Locked Screen Notifications with square corners instead of rounded corners...
It's been nearly 2 years with this bug 🪳

Honestly I doubt it… hoping for iOS 18 and a fix.

I dont understand why they dont take FINAL version of previous version and THEN begin to further updating it to a new version.

Schedule, timing, internal testing…

Because the new version is already being worked on when the final previous version is released. But I agree, they could move it up to the next level (beta 2 in reality) but call it beta 1 before sending it out to public. Beta 2 is usually when things like modem and carriers and such gets updated back to previous version levels.

Because they don’t proceed linearly. 17.5 was in development before 17.4/17.4.1 were released.

Outside the EU there isn't much if anything.
Inside the EU there's downloading apps direct from some websites - if you're crazy enough

 

[gwhizkids]

Anyone thinking there was going to be a big feature release with 17.5 hasn’t been around the iOS beta program very long. At this point they are mainly fixing bugs and getting the platform set for the next major release.

Do it

Yes, do it…

System feels weirdly snappier and more fluid on iPhone 15 (and on M1 MacBook Air)...a sign of things to come with iOS 18/macOS 15, let's hope 🙂

System feels weirdly snappier and more fluid (...)

Though this is always after a reboot.

 

[uniquexoxo]

im going on limbo by upgrading to this betas, it’s not going to get any worst than my current battery drain and overheat issue 😭 and I just got my battery replace 2 weeks ago so this is relatively new battery

Well I can’t make a telephone call now, so there’s that. 😐

On my 14PM is a lot smoother too. I feel like there's something seriously wrong with the 17.4.x release, even my screen now feels like proper 120hz, lets hope the battery life is improved too
