iOS 17 Speculation Thread

I will never stop asking for separate volume sliders for alarms and the expansion of Call Log so it would record indefinitely, not just 7 days!

This was a huge gripe of mine for many many years. How hard is it to add a seperate volume control for alarms. It's asinine that the volume of your alarm is dependent on system volume, you have to remember to adjust your ringer accordingly every night.

Finally I just gave up and now I use my watch as an alarm. Its great, with the Ultra the vibration on my wrist is strong enough to wake me up but not jarring. Also perfect for not waking up my wife next to me on days that I get up before her.

DB5 should be this week since those are usually weekly after beta 4, there isn’t really that long left for betas since we’re in August tomorrow.

I do not mind, as long as the respective PB follows up shortly, as we still did not have PB2, that normally should have corresponded to DB4 released last week.

However, I do not remember any instances of Apple jumping a PB from 1 to 3, skipping PB2?

So I keep to my previous forecast - PB2 this week (can be today or tomorrow), then weekly beta releases for both DB and PB starting next week, 6 August.

PB are not labeled 1,2,3. These news articles refer to a PB as first, second, third as a description only during the earliest examples. You have to go by what build a PB is using.

More likely to see an early DB5 based on apps quitting with DB4 OS’s. Seen with DB4 of tvOS, MacOS. Also a chance of 16.7 this week maybe.

Considering the amount of software Apple are actively working on right now (the usual releases + visionOS), I would just leave iOS 16.6 as is, save for some possible security fast patches. What’s the point of releasing iOS 16.7 just a few weeks prior to iOS 17?

I’m guessing PB2 this week, I’d not be surprised if it’s today, might be tomorrow.

DB5 will be next week, as weekly normally starts after that’s come out.

DB4 came out last Tuesday the 25th. see here
The fact that a PB didn't occur in the first couple of day after DB4 released coupled with all the wonky MacOS DB4 installs sorta says Apple is aware of some security issues you could manually accept. Example the transition from Safari 17 showing some issues with displaying MacRumors web pages like they had some security issues (DB2/DB3), to now it doesn't do that but the app quits sometimes shows that the transition of DB3 to DB4 entailed a lot of changes. Hoping for a DB5 to further improve OS behavior.

It’s quiet, but let’s give it another 10-15 minutes before “see you tomorrows”. 😉
