Apple is giving a taste of the upcoming iOS 17.1 by releasing the fourth pre-release version, the so-called Release Candidate (RC). This step comes one week before the planned launch of the final version of iOS 17.1. But what does this update bring to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Mac users? Below we take a closer look at the new and improved features that Apple is introducing with iOS 17.1.
In addition to iOS 17.1, Apple has also released RC versions for iPadOS 17.1, watchOS 10.1, tvOS 17.1 and macOS Sonoma 14.1. The range of updates is wide and promises to optimize the user experience on different devices. The Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, for example, receive the exciting new "Double Tap" feature, which enables touchless interaction with the display. But there are also interesting innovations for iPhone users, such as the ability to use AirDrop over the Internet and expanded control over the always-on display on the latest iPhone models.
New features for Apple Watch and iPhone
One of the notable improvements concerns Apple Music, which now gives users the ability to favorite artists who will contribute to a new playlist in the future. This could further personalize the listening experience of Apple Music subscribers and tailor it to individual preferences. iOS 17.1 also brings changes to how the Action button works on the iPhone 15 Pro, especially when the Camera app is stored. These adjustments are intended to make using the camera even smoother. In addition, Apple has other exciting features planned for iOS 17, including the new Journal app, which is expected soon in the first iOS 17.2 beta. With all these new features, Apple remains true to its tradition of constantly improving the user experience and bringing innovations to its products.
Look forward to iOS 17.1 and more
