It’s amazing in 17! Noticed first time typing. Especially on the iPad I make substantially less mistakes. It’s a smack in the face change.

Yep. Not perfect but much much better than it was.

Sharing AirTags.

Live dictation of voicemail is a close second

[–] RoyalEngineering@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago

Yes! Sharing of AirTags!

Finally I won’t get notified a million times that there’s an AirTag in my partner’s bag.

I never answer my phone so having voicemails automatically type out will be a great addition for me!

Wife will be happy. Mother will be happy.

I’m on 16 and i already have this…?

You have a transcription of a voicemail after it’s been left. On 17 you will see the transcription coming in as the person is leaving the message.

Oh cool. Thanks

Oooh super cool.

Live transcript does seem nice. Like you, I hate listening to voicemail. I’m a much more visual person

Better pwa support

[–] navi@lemmy.tespia.org 2 points 3 years ago (1 child)

Any links to this? I didn't realize PWAs were getting any love in iOS 17.

[–] SurpriseCandid8978@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago

Hey , my bad. The pwa improvement are coming to macOS safari and not the mobile safari. I thought there were improvements on mobile safari too but nope.

SharePlay for CarPlay is going to be a huge quality of life improvement for carpooling

[–] Bushwhack@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago

I’m still not 100% sure how this works, but I’m excited for it with my wife in long car rides.

[–] NoisyFlake@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago (1 child)

I assume this only works with Apple Music, right? Been considering switching from Spotify for a few months now, but so far there's not really anything that would justify the switch.

parent

[–] tswan@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 years ago

Unfortunately yes—anyone in your car can scan a QR code and help add to your queue, but it only shows up when using Apple Music

I’m hoping the side loading thing will be real, and practical.

[–] irishbreakfast@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago

Definitely the interactive widgets!

[–] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 years ago

I just want to know how sideloading is going to work when it’s implemented in the EU.

[–] alxhghs@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago

The first couple betas had super speedy spotlight searching. This current beta has a basically broken spotlight. I’m hoping by the time 17 is released that spotlight is super speedy again. It’s been really slow for me on 16

iPadOS: Better Stage Manager

What did they improve about it that excites you?

parent

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (2 children)

From what I understand the “grid” where you can place app windows has been greatly increased, so it’s almost like you can place the apps where ever instead of it choosing the worst places on its own.

parent

[–] Onse@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago (1 child)

It’s nowhere near a desktop OS but it is a nice improvement. I definitely hate using it less since the betas.

parent

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

I use my iPad for about 90% of my computing needs at this point, so I’m eager for the extra functionality when I have it extended out on an external display.

The swipe to reply feature has been awesome. Also enjoying the new contact wallpapers.

Sure have!

The battery life. I heard it was miles better than 16. Also, allegedly, keyboard autocorrect was fixed. Allegedly.

Oh no, that’s unfortunate. Do you have the latest beta?

@executive_chicken yes and it’s still happening...

Opening up the browsers to allow ones that don't run webkit would be nice.

I rather miss being able to use Firefox and its plugins on mobile.

[–] Jacobp100@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago (2 children)

The Firefox plug-in system is the same as Safari/WebKit, is it not?

parent

[–] T156@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago* (1 child)

Not as far as I'm aware, since they use gecko for Firefox desktop.

parent

[–] AProfessional@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

They both use WebExtensions but Firefox supports many more apis. ublock isn’t possible with Safari.

Video voicemail when using FaceTime. I don’t use FaceTime often, but this has seemed like a no brainer enhancement to FaceTime for awhile.

[–] LappingDog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago

Better voice to text. I’ve been acting like a boomer a lot more recently by dictating things into text fields and judging from the accuracy of the LLM models like whisper, I could seriously see myself using voice to text for everything that doesn’t need to be spelled out.

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago

Not a ton with iOS, but I’m really looking forward to Sonoma.

@androidul

@executive_chicken that sounds horrible

parent

[–] UnbeatenDeployGoofy@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 years ago

I really look forward to the profile in Safari (both in macOS and iOS). If it's working properly in Sonoma, I won't be needing multiple accounts on my Macs to separate my work and porn addiction.

Less photo and video sharpening, or a slider

Another stolen Android feature that they'll claim to have come up with themselves! Those are the best

[–] T156@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago

You can't steal a feature, to be fair. Only the implementation can be stolen, not the idea.

Android fan here, currently using an iPhone.

You’re not entirely wrong, but you’re missing half the equation. You see, the implementations here actually work fairly decently and feel nice to use. Still took them way too long, and they’re still getting too much credit. But the entire experience is more polished.

That either matters to you or it doesn’t. It didn’t used to for me, so I used Android for years since it’s significantly more customizable and capable.

Now I have multiple computing devices and need my phone to fulfill a more general role, and I’d like that to be an enjoyable experience. So I’m on iPhone again.
