iOS 17 Speculation Thread

RC today?

I expect it for tomorrow Tuesday. Then final release towards the end of the week or next week.

But if we get the RC today, it is quite likely we’ll have the final release this Thursday or Friday.

Would not be surprised if they skip RC and release 17.6 this week (tomorrow?)

Not saying i’d expect that, but wouldn’t surprise me given the build # (21G79) has already leaked + 17.5.2 was scraped (likely implying an accelerated 17.6 release)

Also apple has until july 25 for some of those EU regulations, i’m assuming they would require an OS update?

Aaron Zollo said he expected the RC, but Brandon Butch is saying there is no RC and that 17.6 is coming out tomorrow

 

[Abthevolfan92]

there deff needs to be an RC, beta 4 is not stable. I'm going to be surprised if we go straight to the release despite what Butch says

 

[Reeneman]

Animation stuttering is surprisingly gone on my 15 Pro after a couple of days with the beta 3.

 

[sbailey4]

wouldnt be release as we havent gotten a RC build yet

We may not see an RC build and just go straight to release.

Yep. Slow animations & stutters across the OS on my 15 Pro Max. This needs sorted asap.

The stuttering problem is in beta 4, beta 3 was fine

 

[ttam110]

RC is out

 

[Abthevolfan92]

It's the RC Butch was wrong. I know people are freaking out about those EU deadlines but doubt we are getting the public before then

It's because Apple still has the old ones online. 😉
Nevermind both cycle's seeds are released on the same day.

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

We may see a newer build of 17.6 when it’s released next week (21G79 > 21G80).

It's usually mondays for big releases but my gut says tuesday

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

I’m going with Monday.

 

[Reverend Benny]

I'm planning for a Tuesday evening (nordics) release to my batch of test-people at work.
I'm guessing there will be a 17.6.1 that follow shortly after as almost always happens.

Will be interesting to get a list of security updates and the severity of them, if they release that info.

 

[Abthevolfan92]

I think 17.6 and possibly a 17.6.1 will be the last update before Ios 18 comes out

 

[sbailey4]

Yeah 17.6 release today and next iOS18 beta tomorrow.

 

[Hans300]

Has it landed?
