EVERY YEAR APPLE unveils a new generation of operating systems at the June Worldwide Developers Conference. It then releases them as developer and public betas a little while later, and as a finished product by the fall. The public beta of iOS 17 was released on July 12, and the developer beta was made available for free too.
iOS 17 boasts a range of new features for any iPhone that can run them. For instance, there are personalized Contact Posters to design and use, and Live Voicemails where incoming messages are transcribed and the text shown in real time, so you can decide whether or not to take the call. Or, if you ring someone using FaceTime and they don't pick up, in iOS 17 you can now leave a voice or video message for them.
The Messages app gets some upgrades too, such as a more comprehensive search feature, inline replies and other cool functions. For safety, Check In can be used to send a friend or family member a message when you've reached your destination. Also look out for new Stickers, sharing contacts via AirDrop, and a new StandBy feature.
Whether you download the public beta or wait until the new operating system's final release, there's plenty to see and do in iOS 17. Over the next few pages we show you some of the latest features and how to use them.
So what are you waiting for? Let's take an in-depth look at the iPhone's latest iOS 17 operating system, right now.
Which iPhones can run iOS 17?
iOS 17 requires a more up-to-date iPhone than previous versions. It's worth noting that even if your device is listed below, it may not support every feature in iOS 17. For example, the new enhancements to autocorrect and predictions require an iPhone 12.
