Apple is expected to launch the official version of iOS 17 in mid-to-late September, and iPhone XS and newer models can be updated for free. The update includes many new features, but it is noticed that not all of them will be available immediately, according to Apple’s website.
Below is a list of three features that Apple says are “coming later this year” as part of a future iOS 17 release, such as iOS 17.1 or iOS 17.2. Apple has been testing iOS 17.1 internally for several weeks, and the update could be released by the end of October.
Diary App: The new Diary app will allow iPhone users to review their day and memories, including text, photos, music, audio recordings and more. The app will provide personalized suggestions based on recent activity on the device.
Apple Music Collaborative Playlists: Apple Music’s new collaborative playlists feature will allow multiple people to add, reorder, and remove songs from shared playlists.
AirDrop transfers over the Internet: If you send content, such as a picture or video, to another user via AirDrop, the transfer will continue over an Internet connection when you leave AirDrop range, as long as both you and the recipient are signed in to iCloud.
