iOS 17 Rumored to Have 'Fewer Major Changes Than Originally Planned' as Apple Shifts Focus to AR/VR Headset

I still think there will be some major changes coming for iOS 17.0 to satisfy European regulators. This would be:
1. The allowance of multiple app stores.
2. Third-party access to the NFC circuitry under strict circumstances.
3. A new app for Bluetooth wireless headphones with far easier connectivity with third-party Bluetooth headphones.

No you’re trying to find loopholes in a great analogy. The point is throwing money and resources at a business problem that relies on dependencies doesn’t always scale up because there is a bottleneck somewhere.
Two teams can work concurrently, you sem to think they only can have one team working at a time
You seem to think that two teams can work on the same thing at the same time.
The law of diminishing returns applies to scaling up.
I never said "on the same thing," I'm saying that two teams can work on two thing without having to move a team across projects
Edit: and it wasn't implied either
i would also like to have the ability to set separate ringtones for each SIM card/ number
and be able to separate/distinguish text messages from these as well
That’s the point about the analogy. There is a limit to how resources scale. I dont know the limit and you don’t know the limit.
But people seem to believe throwing money and resources are the holy grail of fixing things.
Your analogy is the opposite of what I'm saying. You're arguing that throwing more people at a problem is not a solution. I'm saying Apple should hire an AR/VR team instead of moving people from the iOS team. You say resources scale vertically (ie. more people), I say they scale horizontally (more teams working parallelly).
More or less. Never discuss in absolutes.
There may (there is a good reason to apple) be a valid reason for the way the teams are structured that you (and I) aren’t privy to.
Depending. We don’t know enough about apples teams to make that determination. We of course could have our opinions of them.

Starting to sound like fewer major changes is the new norm with iOS 😂

Separately, a bogus iOS 17 rumor (that we won’t even bother linking to) is making the rounds this week. The rumor comes from a Twitter account that is known to troll and make up false information. Nonetheless, the fake rumors have been picked up by a number of different other news outlets.
The rumor suggests Apple has “major changes” in store for the Home app, updates to the “navigation” of the Music app, and more. But again, these claims hold no weight.

Beware of this bogus iOS 17 rumor
Because of Apple’s focus on the Reality Pro headset and its software, Bloomberg has reported that iOS 17 will feature “fewer major changes than originally planned.” The same will also reportedly apply for iPadOS 17 and macOS 14, which Gurman says is code-named “Sunburst.”Separately, a bogus iOS 17 rumor (that we won’t even bother linking to) is making the rounds this week.
