Apple announced iOS 17 at the Worldwide Developers Conference back in June (fave.co/3Kdcz7W), and what had been rumored to be little more than a "maintenance release" focused on performance and reliability turned out to be a whole lot more. There are dozens of new features coming to our iPhones this fall, and while some are minor tweaks, others are game-changers. We expect iOS 17 to be released this month. Apple made an early beta available to registered developers in June, with a public beta ready in late July. We have a guide to tell you all about how to download the iOS beta (fave.co/3KbtJD9).
These are the five features that have us most excited to update our iPhones this fall.
1. LIVE VOICEMAIL TRANSCRIPTION
When you get a call and let it go to voicemail, you won't need to wait for the message to complete to see it. Instead, the locked call screen will show a live transcription of the voicemail as your caller is making it. You might decide you want to take that call after all, so you can pick up the call with just a tap! 2. IMPROVED AUTOCORRECT The autocorrect feature has been a thorn in our side for far too long. With iOS 17, Apple is changing the on-device machine-learning model to a "transformer" model (ChatGPT is a transformer model, for example) that should be far more accurate.
