mine didn’t make the list. I want feature parity for the Photos app such as Smart Albums to exist on iPadOS. Also, I would use Notes if they pulled in PDF files rather than linking to them and allowed Markup with pencil. Notes doesn’t integrates text well with keyboard characters.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 17 Coming Soon for iPhones and Rumored to Include These 8 New Features

I am actually kind of shocked they haven't implemented that by now. Almost 20 years later.Here's hoping for per-app volume settings in iOS 17. Doubt we'll get it but I'd love to be surprised.
Really looking forward to iMessage Contact Key Verification and the redesigned Wallet app.
I don't recall Apple ever having done this: merging accounts.
I recall iWork being end of life, receiving an email from Apple to download all documents to save, then I could upload when I got iCloud. I still have my first iCloud account but it's just for tracking a few files and some emails I wanted to move over to my current iCloud account. I'll killing in soon enough as I really don't use it actively anymore.
Merging:
Emails - You could sign into Mail for iCloud on a computer with both accounts and then MOVE emails and folders from one into the other - that'll merge email correspondence keeping the SMTP MX records of each original communication intact, but replying to an email from account 1 that is saved in account 2 will ONLY show the FROM from account 2 when sent/forwarded/reply/reply to all - but the history will remain intact IF you chose to keep the historical communications of such an action (example email received from an external party to account 1 is kept when replying/forwarding/etc using account 2).
iTunes in Music ... you could try this BUT playback will always ask you to sign in and authorize from account 1 if playing the DRM track into account 2. Not fun trust me, I was so annoyed back in the iTunes day's doing this I just ended up cleaning them out, repurchasing them.
You can ask Apple to rename an existing accounts logon email address though. You can use secondary SMTP names if you wish but you cannot choose that from an existing account so
It's a great ask and I'd love it but doubtful they'd ever do this. For one, developers would loose out on a lot of revenue.
Mood tracking? Ya, we really need that! How about fixing some of the bugs and improve my mood that way?
Looking forward to seeing the redesigned control center.
Let give you a couple of examples of why I think you’re missing the point.
You can start a quick note in Apple’s Notes app from the bottom right corner of your device (iPad / Mac). There’s currently no API Evernote can use to achieve the same thing.
You can play music on Apple Music just by asking Siri “play X”. For Spotify you need to say “play X on Spotify”.
Isn’t this purely unfair? Shouldn’t you be able to set default apps that share the same rights and privileges as Apple’s own apps?
I think that’s what we’re all hoping for, too. We heard that initial rumor about iOS 17 being a tune-up update, but as time has went on, some more features have been rumored. I hope feature creep hasn’t got in the way of a really solid update.
Journaling app sounds interesting... as long as it pulls in as much information as possible from elsewhere. I'm too lazy to actually write anything!
Instead of that useless "unwanted tracking notifications" (which annoy pretty often when my GF drives our car, where's an AirTag in it) they should rather add useful stuff to the AirTags/MFI Trackers: Family Access. That's ridiculous that I cannot search/track my +1's AirTags (in case she misplaced her keys or wallet and her phone has no charge), but every other Apple device works.
But what stops Americans from getting a EU AppleID? Does the AppleID require your home address? Even then you could still use a European address.
We Europeans often used American drivers for flatbed scanners for example, because European copyright law restricted the maximum scanning speed of scanners with a EU driver. With an American driver the same scanner was much faster.
There is always a way to bypass restrictions. Just how I use HBO Max and Hulu from the US even though I am living in Germany or how I was able to use FaceTime on my iPad from UAE by changing the region to Egypt
In a way it is funny to look forward to the next OS. I mean, where else is iOS 17 other than already IN iOS 16? Yet we talk about operating systems as if they are successive and separate phenomena, tho it is only out of iOS 16 that iOS 17 can be “born”, and we know that. A wave in the ocean is not on its own, the wave is of course the ocean AS the wave. Yet we talk about a wave in the ocean as if they are “two”. An baby in the womb is the father and the mother as the mother. Yet even about the mother and the baby we talk as is if they are “two”, even when the umbilical cord is still uncut. Without iOS 17 being already present in iOS 16, iOS 17 could never see the light of day. Which is also funny to say cos operaring systems are light. So we look forward to iOS 17 but yet we already have it a long time on our devices. The present is the past AS the present, and the present is also the future of the past. If the current OS is the previous OS as the current OS, it only means that the current OS is all the previous AND all the future operating systems demarcation-less together. This is why it is said that the future is only now. We live already physically in the future yet our minds dream joyfully or anxiously about a future which will never come because life is just one omnipresent “boiling” moment wherein the past, present and future are One.
My fingers are truly crossed for cross platform journal app. And like you said, start on mobile, end on desktop would give me a reason to jot down some thoughts during the day, and wrap them up before bed when I'm in front of my computer. A feature that sadly is charged by my current choice, Day One.
I don't use the Wallet app nearly enough to have noticed any real shortcomings, but if improvements are on the way, I'm all for it.
Cross-platform is a must. Agree: starting a note out-and-about and then fleshing out further back at home on a larger keyboard is a scenario I would imagine many wanting, if not expecting. We’ll see.
Wallet offers little-to-no organizational options. It’s kind of a mess. The screenshot that was shard brings much better organization to the app. If true, would greatly increase what is quite a mess at present.
Why can't both Apple and GM suck in this instance?? I have had 3 cars that had the temp displayed where you're describing and while I very weakly prefer it there for the benefit of everyone in my vehicle I like it on the main center screen. Apple should just integrate the temperature into CarPlay. There's unused space where they could display it.

😁👍🏼Looks like someone got early access to the journaling app...
Since this topic is speculation without facts, how can one predict whats being implemented? The earliest thoughts was that a whole bunch of popular suggestions against user IOS issues would be addressed. Whatever features added is unknown aside from the EU App Store assumptions.
