I would expect further refinements to StageManager in the same way that SlideOver, SplitScreen, and the Multitasking view were iterated until they were pretty great in iPadOS-15.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 17 Coming Later This Year: Here's What to Expect

I agree with your sentiment 100%, however I don't think it's the users' fault this time, rather the confused EU policy on policies (pardon for the repetition but it gets the idea across).
No matter what, the EU seems to be in love with the theme of globalization, no matter the area in which they operate.
One megastate without borders, one legal system, one coordinated police monitoring system, one cable (USB-C), one global agricolture policy, one shared policy on drug use and now all OS' to allow sideloading.
Basically less difference between all things.
They also don't know what side to take on...on one side they do some half-decent privacy laws with regards to data, on the other hand they're constantly trying to outlaw end-to-end encryption for messaging apps.
Of course my comment is a bit satirical and it looks like I'm against EU, while in fact I'm still glad to live within the union.
It's just that sometimes they seem a bit too overzealous when it comes to unifying everything into one system, and discouraging diversity (paradoxically).
I mean EU, let iOS be iOS...we don't need any Android features.
Also not dissing Android itself, I find it very cool there are 2 different OSs with 2 radically different phylosophies.
If I were a tinkerer (I'm not), I'd 100% get a Pixel 7.
But let Android be Android and iOS be iOS.
I get that and for 99% of developers it is that way. But what about the original Google Voice app Apple blocked at the request of AT&T? The recent stories of how Twitter has constantly had to fight for approval because every other week some app reviewer realizes it can be used to find ”inappropriate content.”?
My point is that as sole creator and arbiter of the rules, Apple can technically do whatever it wants and nobody can stop it, and they have used app review as a weapon in the past.
I understand that it’s their platform and they own it, but AT&T made the same argument about the telephone system and I think we can all agree it’s better that AT&T is not the sole arbiter of that.
Yeah blame Apple for that. They are the same thing. It was a bad idea to change the names. I think Apple did that to indicate that they were going to accelerate iPad development. That obviously did not happen.
For real. Im a regular user and i dont see what these bugs people on this website are complaining about. Not saying they dont exist but havent come accross any.
iOS 17 should be the year of fixing and improving autocorrect and Siri. far more useful and important than anything else they can add and easily the weakest bits of the software.
Dude. But how sick would Goldeneye on my phone be??
I do 100% agree with your points though.
Color me intrigued by next gen CarPlay. It can use an update, current version is pretty stale at this point.
I really hope they focus on Siri and more QoL updates, it's so bad I don't use it. I don't notice any bugs or performance issues.
After 16.0 and 16.1 wrecked out house I don't think I'll be upgrading to 17 until 17.2 or later.
For the love of god why can’t I click in an email mid search. Rather I have to complete the search hit go and then tap on it!!! Bet that won’t get fixed.
And CS on alternates will be garbage. You will have to call and go through the seven circles of hell scripts to possibly even cancel.
What to expect? I expect Safari to open the link I tap on the first time, not needing to go back to another app to tap a link again. I expect iCloud to actually sync up in a timely fashion, let alone at all. I expect the Music app to get the promised Classical Music integration.
Things work fine, but should work better. And if Apple’s promising features, I expect them.

I love how they just bounce back up like rubber. If I faceplanted, I would just lie there for five minutes, and then take another five to get upright again
I don't think Apple's version of alternative stores is what you'd expect, tho. As in, there will not be sideloading or switching around, just different walled gardens to comply with country/region-specific legal requirements.
I'm curious what "tons of stuff" it installed? I've installed Acrobat Reader as well and the only thing I got was...Acrobat Reader and a single startup item (presumably some applet that phones home, checks for updates, etc).
Personally I feel sorry for people who get so bent out of shape over what some app installs. This intense obsession with privacy is unhealthy, especially considering that privacy is a total illusion in the digital age. Your ISP, your phone company, just about every website your visit...they're all tracking you, collecting data, etc. I've been online since the 80s and I have yet to personally experience any ill effects from all this data tracking. I don't like it. It rubs me the wrong way, but, in the end, it has no impact on my life.
When Apple allows alternative app stores... It's coming, for sure in the EU and soon after everywhere else. I'm fine with Apple maintaining a strictly curated App Store. If developers don't want to meet Apple's requirements, they can use other stores or sell direct. The consumer can decide if they want to buy those apps or not. This is how a free(-ish) market works.
In my opinion, the Apple App Store is full of garbage. Despite Apple's drumbeat of privacy, privacy, privacy, tons of App Store apps tract everything you do, sell your data, etc. Apple doesn't inspect the code or have a clue what any of these apps are doing. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Gruber updated that article saying it was purely Apple's decision.
Largely unconfirmed and/or missing details. Rules specifically state for social media apps requiring moderation which is subjective. That could be the reason.
There's a reason why Apple can't charge 50%/50% right now. Plenty of developers will leave in masses. The market is speaking and so far 15-30% + Apple's rules are fine.
Ventura is atrocious with bugs and "features" which just don't work. The only mystery to me is how people use this OS all day long.
