The next major update of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS 17, will be introduced during Apple's WWDC address on Monday. However, when can you expect to get your hands on iOS 17?
The iOS 17 release datehas not yet been formally confirmed, but the business normally follows a predictable pattern on the calendar...
Rumors regarding the Apple Reality Pro headset... or whatever it ends up being called... are rife ahead of its June 5 release date. However, WWDC is also the period when Apple announces new software features for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac for the future year.
In fact, with iOS 17, Apple has already revealed specifics about new accessibility features that will be available later this year, such as a simpler alternate app launcher layout and a Live Speech feature that uses your own Personal Voice.
However, the remaining consumer features will be shown on Monday. When the iPhone is docked, we expect to see a more sophisticated always-on display view, similar to a smart display like the Amazon Echo Show, a new journaling app, a new Wallet app, location sharing features, additional Dynamic Island functionality for iPhone 14 Pro (and soon, iPhone 15) owners, and possibly some other surprises that have not yet been rumored.
However, given Apple's primary focus this year on the XR headset, iOS 17 is unlikely to include anything as significant as the iOS 16 Lock Screen makeover or iOS 14 home screen widgets update.
When Will IOS 17 Be Available?
In terms of release date, we can anticipate that iOS 17 will be released as a developer beta seed following Monday's event.
That means iOS 17 beta 1 will be accessible for developers to install on their test devices at 1 PM PST. Only registered Apple developers have access to developer seeds.
If Apple follows its usual schedule, a public beta of iOS 17 will be available a few weeks later, towards the end of June or the first few weeks of July. In comparison, iOS 16's first public beta was released on July 11, 2022. Anyone can participate in the Apple Beta Software Program.
After that, iOS 17 will go through many more rounds of beta seeding during the summer months before being officially released to the public alongside the iPhone 15 series in the fall. This occurs almost always in the second or third week of September.
Apple regularly publishes the latest version of watchOS alongside iOS, but be warned that iPadOS 17 and macOS 14 may not be available until later, usually in October.
However, iOS 16.6 is currently in beta testing and will most likely launch by the end of June, with modest changes such as the addition of iMessage Contact Key verification.
