Across the Apple community, the expected operating system iOS 17 has been discussed for a long time. Although the unveiling of new operating systems takes place every year in June, specifically on the occasion of the WWDC developer conference, relatively interesting information about possible news is already available. For a long time, things did not look very good for practically the most important OS from Apple.

A number of sources have confirmed that iOS is on the imaginary second track, while the main attention should be paid to the expected AR/VR headset, the arrival of which Apple has been preparing for several years. The not-so-pretty state of iOS 16 didn't add much to it either. The system as such received a number of new features, but it was plagued by poor performance - problems plagued the release of new versions. It was with this that the first speculations came that the iOS 17 system would not bring much joy.

From negative news to positive

Due to the not-so-happy situation surrounding the release of new versions of iOS 16, news has spread across the Apple community that Apple prefers the brand new xrOS system over iOS, which should run on the aforementioned AR/VR headset. Naturally, it also started to be said that the upcoming iOS 17 will not bring much news, in fact, quite the opposite. Early speculations and leaks talked about less news and a primary focus on bug fixes and overall performance. But this gradually turned into negative predictions - iOS 17 will face a number of problems due to its lower priority. Now, however, the situation has turned diametrically. The new information came from Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg reporter and one of the most accurate sources, according to whom Apple changes plans as they go.

Operating systems: iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9 and macOS 13 Ventura

The original leaks should have been true - Apple really did not intend any major update and, on the contrary, wanted to treat iOS 17 as a solid implementation of known problems and performance. However, as we mentioned above, the situation is now changing. According to Gurman, Apple is expected to bring a number of extremely important features with the arrival of iOS 17. Allegedly, these are supposed to be the most requested functions that Apple users are missing in their phones so far. The apple-growing community was thus transformed into enthusiasm practically in an instant.

Why Apple turned 180°

In the end, however, there is also the question of why something like this actually happened. As we have already stated, the initial plan of the Cupertino company was that iOS 17 would be a minor update. Thanks to this, he could avoid the problems that accompanied the release of iOS 16. Although it brought a number of novelties, it suffered from unnecessary errors, which complicated the entire deployment process. But now it is turning. It is possible that Apple has started to listen to the apple users themselves. Rather negative attitudes of users spread across the community, who were definitely not satisfied with the speculations about the weak, even neglected, development of iOS 17. It is therefore possible that Apple has reassessed its priorities and is trying to find a solution that would satisfy as many as possible not only fans, but all users in general. But how the situation with iOS 17 will turn out in the final is unclear for now. Apple does not announce any further information before the presentation, which is why we will have to wait until June for the first demonstration of the system.
